Quick Facts Pronunciation, Gender ...

The name is composed of the Slavic elements drag (dear, precious) and mir (peace), both very common in Slavic dithematic names.[1] It can be translated as To whom peace is precious, i.e. He who cares about peace. However, the ending mir, found in many Slavic names, has developed from the Old Slavic term *meru which meant 'large, great, greatly'. Thus the original Old Slavic meaning of the name would be He who is very dear or He who is very precious (to his family).

The female form of the name is Dragomira or Dragomirka. The equivalent in Czech and Slovak languages is Drahomír / Drahomíra.
