Helmer is a male name with English and Swedish origins. It is pronounced as HEHL-mur (/ˈhɛlmər/) in both languages. The variations of this name include Helm and Helmi. In the United States, Helmer has been given to newborn boys sporadically throughout the years. It peaked in popularity in the early 20th century, particularly in the 1920s, when it ranked among the top 20 names for boys. However, since then, its usage has declined significantly. Nonetheless, Helmer remains a unique and distinctive choice for parents looking for a traditional yet uncommon name for their baby boy.
