From Easton's 1897 Bible Dictionary [easton]:
   Chedorlaomer
      (= Khudur-Lagamar of the inscriptions), king of Elam. Many
      centuries before the age of Abraham, Canaan and even the
      Sinaitic peninsula had been conquered by Babylonian kings, and
      in the time of Abraham himself Babylonia was ruled by a dynasty
      which claimed sovereignity over Syria and Palestine. The kings
      of the dynasty bore names which were not Babylonian, but at once
      South Arabic and Hebrew. The most famous king of the dynasty was
      Khammu-rabi, who united Babylonia under one rule, and made
      Babylon its capital. When he ascended the throne, the country
      was under the suzerainty of the Elamites, and was divided into
      two kingdoms, that of Babylon (the Biblical Shinar) and that of
      Larsa (the Biblical Ellasar). The king of Larsa was Eri-Aku
      ("the servant of the moon-god"), the son of an Elamite prince,
      Kudur-Mabug, who is entitled "the father of the land of the
      Amorites." A recently discovered tablet enumerates among the
      enemies of Khammu-rabi, Kudur-Lagamar ("the servant of the
      goddess Lagamar") or Chedorlaomer, Eri-Aku or Arioch, and
      Tudkhula or Tidal. Khammu-rabi, whose name is also read
      Ammi-rapaltu or Amraphel by some scholars, succeeded in
      overcoming Eri-Aku and driving the Elamites out of Babylonia.
      Assur-bani-pal, the last of the Assyrian conquerors, mentions in
      two inscriptions that he took Susa 1635 years after
      Kedor-nakhunta, king of Elam, had conquered Babylonia. It was in
      the year B.C. 660 that Assur-bani-pal took Susa.
     

From Hitchcock's Bible Names Dictionary (late 1800's) [hitchcock]:
   Chedorlaomer, roundness of a sheaf
