A crisp, modern variant of the standard spelling Summer, Sommer comes directly from the Old English *sumor*, referring to the warmest season of the year. While it emerged as a given name relatively recently, its use was notably boosted by the American actress Sommer Usher and, in the UK, by the actress Sommer McKenzie possibly being a more notable reference for Scottish readers. The season itself has no direct place-name connection, but the same root appears in the Somerset county in England, meaning "land of the summer settlers." This spelling, with its Germanic *-er* ending, lends the name a slightly more international or Nordic feel than its English counterpart.
