a heart murmur is when your heart sorta skips a beat... it could be a sign of many things (not all of which are so bad) one example is mitral valve prolapse, which means you just have to take some medicine before you go to the dentist... most likely it's not too bad

Whats A Heart Mermer

I am assuming you are asking about a heart murmur, and the answer to the second question is no not everyone gets it. I am not a doctor or nurse but I know that heart murmurs come from when the blood either flows differently than it should in the case of say a hole in a valve or wall of the heart like my nephew has or it is caused form fluid built up around the heart like my Aunt has.
I do not have a heart murmur but if you do I have been told that while it is an anomaly it is not necessarily something to worry about.

The last few replies are right on the money. The rest of you, stay out of medicine.
Murmurs and irregular heart beats have nothing to do with each other. Most murmurs are benign and some people don't know they have one, either because you have to be sitting up or lying down to hear it. Irregular heart beats are due to different area trying to pace the heart (besides the SA node).
Your doctor will know the significance of murmur upon examination.

Well...its murmur to begin with...and no not everyone has one or develops one.
A heart murmur is a sound that the blood makes when its pumped into or out of a chamber of the heart. There are many different reasons that this could happen.
I have a systolic murmur and its called a wandering pacemaker.
the electrical impulse that starts the heart muscle contracting can start at a number of different spots on the heart.

Some people are born with them. I have one. It's not a big deal. Heart murmurs are most often caused by defective heart valves. A stenotic (sten-OT'ik) heart valve has a smaller-than-normal opening and can't open completely. A valve may also be unable to close completely. This leads to regurgitation, which is blood leaking backward through the valve when it should be closed.
Murmurs also can be caused by conditions such as pregnancy, fever, thyrotoxicosis (thi"ro-toks"ih-KO'sis) (a diseased condition resulting from an overactive thyroid gland) or anemia.

it is an abnormal sound from the heart caused by some anatomical abnormalities like a hole between the right and the left part of the heart = in the wrong place or bad valves
when they are destroyed and there is a to big or to small opening
between the heart chambers and the main veins and arteries in the body

It is hissing sound heard with a stethoscope, when the heart beats. Some people may have a physiological murmur with no disease. In others it indicates disease of a heart valve.

I'm very disappointed it took until the 6th one of you to point out that there's no such thing as a "mermer".

It's actually a heart murmur, and it's totally normal. No, not everyone has it, but it's not necessarily a bad thing to have. I have one, and it's not a big deal. Millions of people have it and don't even know it.
