[edit] Etymology
The meaning of the name is not known, however it includes Adûnaic zôr which means "flame" or "foam".
The first element imra (perhaps from *imar) is not translated but it also appears in the name Imrahil and perhaps Imâr.

[edit] Note
Nowhere is it explained why a man living in Gondor late in the Third Age would have the epithet of "The Númenórean".
