Charles Cawley identifies this person as Amaurie. The Dictionary of the Nobility identifies this person as Maurice. The journal Notes and Queries from 1870, had an intriguing article discussing the name Elmore and its derivations; following is the discussion in part: ELMORE (Ph S. vi. 231.)—This word and its cognates may be either Saxon or Celtic. If the former, its meaning will be simply very great; if the latter, it is a member of a large family, the relationship between whose members are not always recognized. Almaric is a common medieval name, looking at first sight Saxon, but on closer inspection, it reveals itself as Celtic. In legal Latin, it becomes Almaricus, with the feminine Almeria: in French proper its form is Amaury (dropping the c): in Breton French it drops the Al, becoming Meric; while in England it was naturalized as Almore or Elmore. The addition of "poor letter H” according to our island fashion, makes it Helmore. And since in our earliest state records we find Amaury and Maurice used interchangeably for the same person, it seems extremely probable that Maurice is but a softened form of Meric, and has no connection, as is generally supposed, with 'Mauritius.
