Etymology: Wedmore is a village and parish in Somerset, England, and its name is an old one that has been worn down over the centuries. The name is possibly made of two Old English elements: "wāþ", meaning hunting, and "mōr", meaning marsh. Read together, that would describe a hunting ground beside wet lowland. The split and the meaning remain uncertain, so the reconstruction should be treated as a plausible guess rather than settled fact.
