Meaning & Origin
A male given name from the Slavic languages.
Damir is a boy's and girl's baby name of Slavic origin, composed of the elements da (to give) and mir (peace or world), meaning "to give peace" or "world peace." It has been used across Bosnia, Croatia, Serbia, and Russia for centuries.
Damir carries a strong, grounded quality that reflects its Slavic heritage. In the United States, it has grown primarily through Bosnian and South Slavic immigrant communities, where it represents both cultural identity and a meaningful wish for peace.
