Early records of this German surname date back to the 16th century.The German surname is a contraction of the surname Kleinmeyer. Literally this means "small meyer". and originally denoted the son of meyer. The German surname Meyer is occupational in origin, being one of those names derived from the type of work a man did, in this case the name denoted "an overseer, stewart or head servant".
Variants of the surname Clymer include Kleinmeyer,Kleimeyer,Kleinmayer.
