The surname DELERME is of French origin, with its roots traced back to the northern regions of France during the medieval period. It is believed to have derived from the Old French term "de l'erme," which translates to "from the desert" or "from the wilderness." This suggests that the name may have initially been associated with individuals who resided in remote or isolated areas.

One of the earliest recorded instances of the DELERME surname can be found in the Chartrier de Thouars, a collection of medieval charters and documents from the Thouars region of western France, dating back to the 13th century.

In the 14th century, the name DELERME appears in the Parisian tax rolls, indicating its presence in the capital city during that time. One notable example is Pierre DELERME, a merchant who lived in Paris in the late 1300s and was involved in the local textile trade.

The DELERME surname has also been associated with various place names throughout France, such as Erme, a small village in the Normandy region, and Lerm-et-Musset, a commune in the Hautes-Pyrénées department. These connections suggest that the name may have originated from specific locations where the ancestors of DELERME families resided.

One such figure was Jean DELERME (1505-1572), a renowned French mathematician and astronomer who worked at the University of Paris and authored several treatises on geometry and celestial mechanics.
