The history of the first name Immer

The given name Immer is a German word that means "always" or "ever". Its origins can be traced back to Old High German and Middle High German languages, where it was derived from the Proto-Germanic word "im" or "immer", meaning "perpetual" or "constant".

Immer was a relatively uncommon name in medieval Germany, but it gained some popularity in the 16th and 17th centuries among Protestant families who valued the name's association with eternal concepts. The name is not found in any major religious texts or ancient historical records, suggesting it was primarily used as a secular given name.

One of the earliest recorded individuals with the name Immer was Immer von Bodman, a German knight who lived in the late 13th century. Another notable figure was Immer Klebitz, a 16th-century German painter known for his religious artwork.

Around the same time, Immer Schöpfer (1628-1701) was a German theologian and philosopher who wrote extensively on ethics and metaphysics.

Moving into the 18th century, Immer Nüssler (1711-1796) was a German composer and organist who composed several instrumental works and church cantatas. In the 19th century, Immer Blumhardt (1827-1919) was a German Protestant minister and faith healer known for his involvement in the Blumhardt family's spiritual revivals.
