In the early 15th century, the name Blomer appeared in various records across regions of Germany, including the Duchy of Bavaria and the Electorate of Saxony. One of the earliest recorded instances of the name was in a manuscript from the city of Nuremberg, dated 1412, which mentioned a certain Johann Blomer, a merchant and landowner.
