Meaning & Origin
a female given name
Damira is a girl's baby name of Slavic origin, from the South Slavic compound Damira, composed of the Slavic elements da (to give) and mir (peace, world), meaning 'peace-giving' or 'giver of peace' — a declaration that this child brings peace to the world.
With over 228 recorded births, Damira is used in Bosnian, Serbian, Croatian, and other South Slavic communities. The mir root — shared with names like Miroslav, Mira, and Vladimir — expresses peace and the harmony of the world. As a feminine name meaning 'she who gives peace,' Damira carries an extraordinarily hopeful aspiration: that this daughter will bring harmony and reconciliation wherever she goes.
