- Ymar is also the name of one of the Cthulhu Mythos celestial bodies.
Ymar of Reculver (died 830) was an Anglo-Saxon saint.
A monk of Reculver,[1] Ymar was killed by Danish warriors. His name may be the source of the toponym Margate. A legend states that he had a dying wish to be buried in St Johns Parish Church in Margate. The name 'Ymar' may have become 'Margate' in time. Tradition insists that an old stone coffin lid at the church was his.
