In Hartford, Trumbull writes, "His lot and house were north of Thomas Holcomb's. He sold to Samuel, son of Mr. William Phelps, about 1651.

A palmer originally was one who bore a palm-branch in token of having been to the Holy Land.
The Surnames of Scotland (1946) by George Fraser Black (1866-1948)

Palmer is a name of Norman origin-Old-French le paumer, i.e. the palmer or pilgrim. It is of very frequent occurrence in Anglo-Norman records in Ireland from the thirteenth century. In those early times it was not associated with any particular part of the country, and few Irish Palmers of the present day can claim descent from these mediaeval immigrants. Families of the name were definitely established as landed proprietors both in Kerry and in Meath (later Kildare) in the seventeenth century. Today it is fairly numerous only in east Ulster and in the city of Dublin.

Palmer has sometimes been used as an anglicized form of Ó Maolfhoghmhair (Mullover); but it is essentially an English name. There are 57 Palmers in the Dictionary of National Biography, only two of whom have Irish connexions: one a British colonial politician who happened to be born in Ireland and the other the celebrated Dublin beauty Eleanor Ambrose (c. 1720-1818),who married Sir Roger Palmer of Mayo and Dublin.
Supplement to Irish Families (1964) by Edward MacLysaght

(Anglo-Latin) Palm-Bearing Pilgrim (from Palestine) [Middle English palmer(e; Old English palm + the agential suff. -ere; Latin palma, a palm-tree] Ralph le Palmere.—Hund. Rolls- And whan I come to the kirk, And sholde knele to the roode, And preye for the peple ....

Where with my hands I hewed a house Out of a craggy rocke of stone, And lived like a palmer poore Within that cave myself alone.—‘The Legend of Sir Guy’: Percy's Reliques.
The corresponding French Paulmier and Paumier are not nearly so common in France as Palmer is in this country; and there is now confusion with the French paumier, a tennis-court keeper.
Surnames of the United Kingdom (1912) by Henry Harrison

This is essentially an English name of Norman origin-le paumer, the palmer or pilgrim. As such it is on record in Ireland since the thirteenth century.

Hugh le Paumier, Normandy 1180-95. Ennore, Peter, Robert le Paumer 1198, Ranulph, Robert, Warin, William, John Palmer or Palmarius 1180-95, also Richard and William Paumier. Arthur, Fulco, Peter, William Palmer, Paumer 1198 (Magni Rotuli Scaccarii Normanniae). Reginald, Robert, Roger, William, Engl. 1189 (Rot. Pip.) Hugh and William 1203 (Rotulus Cancellarii). Geoffry, Richard, Robert, William, Engl. 1194-1200 (Rotuli Curiae Regis). Palmarius or Le Paumer in the 11th and 12th centuries meant a Crusader in Palestine, and included families of different origin. In England four families of the name are traceable to a Norman origin, viz. 1. The Palmers of Lincoln, of whom Roger P. held from William de Roumar, Earl of Lincoln (Mon. i. 823), and William P. was living 1203 (Rotulus Cancellarii). He also occurs in Normandy 1203 (Magni Rotuli Scaccarii Normanniae). 2. The P.s of York, of whom Robert le Paumier gave lands to Fountains (Burton, Mon. Ebor. 166), and is mentioned in Normandy 1189 (Magni Rotuli Scaccarii Normanniae). From the Yorkshire line are stated to be descended the P.s of Warwick, ancestors of Lord Selborne. 3. The P.s of Northampton, of whom Hugh paid scutage 1203, and appears in Normandy at the same time (Magni Rotuli Scaccarii Normanniae); from whom the P.s of Carlton, baronets. 4. The Palmers of Hants and Sussex. This family is a branch of the Bassetts, deriving from Anchetil Fitz-Osmund or Basset, Lord of Cosham, Hants 1086, who went to Palestine 1096, and appears 1110 as Anchetil Palmarius at Winchester (Wint. Domesday). His son Geoffry Fitz-Anchetil or Basset, living 1103, was father of Herbert Fitz-Geoffry or Palmarius 1148 (Ib.), father of Herbert Fitz-Herbert of Hants 1165 (Lib. Niger), who had, 1. Peter de Cosham, mentioned in Normandy as ‘de Pont-Doylly;’ 2. William le Paumer or de Cosham (Testa de Neville) t. John. The latter had issue, Sir William Basset of Sussex, Knight (where the family had long held estates called Basset’s Fee in Billinghurst from the Abbey of Fescamp, Normandy), whose daughter Lucy was admitted a nun at Easeborne by letter of Archbishop Peckham (Mon. Angl.) His sons Ralph and Adam Basset occur in Sussex c. 1281 (Dallaway, West Sussex). They were subsequently resident at Steyning, bearing the name of Palmer, 1305, 1308 (PPW.: Dallaway).

From Ralph descended the P.s of Angmering, who bore the Bassett arms, barry of 6 or and gules, or two bars and a bend, from whom the baronets Palmer and Earl of Castlemaine.

British Family Names: Their Origin and Meaning (1903) by Henry Barber

Palmer. —With the exception of a scanty representation in Cumberland and Westmoreland, this name does not occur in my list in the counties north of a line joining the Humber and the Dee. The modern representatives of the ancient pilgrims (the palmers of the Crusades, who carried a staff of palm - wood in their hands) are, however, pretty generally distributed over the rest of the country, having their principal home in the east of England, especially in Norfolk, Cambridgeshire, and Kent, where, as we learn from the Hundred Rolls, they were numerous as far back as the 13th century, particularly in Norfolk and Hunts. The midland home of the name is in Warwickshire and Worcestershire, whilst in the south - west of England they are best represented in Devon and Somerset.

SurnameDB writes,
This ancient Anglo-French surname recorded in the spellings of Palmer, Palmar, Parmer, Paumier, and the dialectals Pymar, Pymer, and Pimer, is a medieval descriptive nickname. It is one of the sizeable group of early European surnames that were gradually created from the habitual use of personal descriptions or characteristics. The derivation, in this instance, is from the pre 10th century Old French, "palmer or paumier", and derives from assumed or perhaps in some cases, actual, pilgrimages or crusades to the Holy Land. Such pilgrims, who often wore suits of armour and carried some very unfriendly weapons, generally brought back a palm branch as proof that they had actually made the journey. A quotation from a medieval writer reads, "The faded palm-branch in his hand, showed the pilgrim from the Holy Land". In its various spellings this was one of the earliest of all surnames. Early examples of the surname recordings include such as Wiger le Palmer of Lincolnshire in the 1191 rolls, and Richard le Paumere of Middlesex in the year 1198. Ricardus Palmer appears in the 1379 Poll Tax rolls of Yorkshire, whilst Joseph Pymer was recorded in London in 1665, at the height of the 'Black death'. John Palmer, aged 18 years, who embarked from London on the ship "Primrose" bound for Virginia, in July 1635, was one of the earliest recorded settlers in America. Throughout the centuries, surnames in every country have continued to "develop" often leading to astonishing variants of the original spelling.

Ancestry writes,
English: from Middle English, Old French palmer, paumer (from palme, paume ‘palm tree’, Latin palma), a nickname for someone who had been on a pilgrimage to the Holy Land. Such pilgrims generally brought back a palm branch as proof that they had actually made the journey, but there was a vigorous trade in false souvenirs, and the term also came to be applied to a cleric who sold indulgences. Swedish (Palmér): ornamental name formed with palm ‘palm tree’ + the suffix -ér, from Latin -erius ‘descendant of’. Irish: when not truly of English origin (see 1 above), a surname adopted by bearers of Gaelic Ó Maolfhoghmhair (see Milford) perhaps because they were from an ecclesiastical family. German: topographic name for someone living among pussy willows. German: from the personal name Palm.2,3,4
