Etymology
The name resembles biblical PNs with the element nēr, e.g., Abner, “the [divine] father is light” (see standard biblical commentaries for other examples). OMNER could mean “the [divine] kinsman is light” (JH), from ʿmm, “people, kinsman.” In the singular, “people, kinsman,” in Hebrew is ʿam. The GN probably was taken from the PN.
