Mer Germanic? Latin? or Gaulish?

If the word "mer" refers to a body of water, then it is cognate with Latin "mare" and Gallic "mor". It's not necessary to impute it to Germanic. A similar example is Windermere in England: it is in Cumbria, a region that was Brythonic until after the Norman Conquest; attempts to make it a Swedish Norse name are probably fanciful. As for "cam", it occurs in Brythonic with the meaning "crooked" or "meandering". St-Aubin of course was a Breton saint, born in Vannes but a bishop of Angers.
