Meaning & History
The name Yarmouth is derived from the town of Yarmouth in Norfolk, England. The name is thought to be a combination of "Yare", the name of a nearby river, and "mouth", which refers to the mouth of the river. In the case of the Nova Scotia Yarmouth, the name was given by English settlers in the 17th century to reflect the coastal nature of the area, similar to its English namesake.
