Etymology
The exact etymology of the name of the town is unknown. The village is mentioned, however, from the seventh century under the Latinized form of Cambrimaro.
The second element is probably the Germanic meaning lake or pond (see Old English meri: lake, pond, now in place names -Mère). Common in the north of France (see Mortemer).
