Bronimir
An Old Slavic compound: broni-, to defend, plus -mir, peace, giving "defender of peace". It sits in the same family as Kazimierz and Włodzimierz, but stays rare enough that most Poles will never meet one.
Bronimir Pronunciation
Bronimir is pronounced bro-NYEE-meer (/brɔˈɲimir/).
What Bronimir means
Where Bronimir comes from and what it has meant to the people who carry it.
Bronimir is built from two Old Slavic roots. The first, broni-, means to defend or guard. The second, -mir, means peace. Together they give the reading Polish name lists still carry: defender of peace.
Compound names like this were common among early Slavic nobility. Bronimir belongs with Kazimierz and Włodzimierz, which end in the same -mir element. That ending links a whole family of old Polish names.
The -mir root has a second life across Slavic tongues, where it also touches the sense of world and renown. A bearer's name could be heard more than one way. Polish keeps the peace reading.
Today Bronimir is rare. You might find the full form once on a class register, written out with no diminutive beside it. The name defends its own shape, and holds to its plain sense: obrońca pokoju.

Bronimir appears 1 time in the Polish name day calendar, never as a main name. The first of these dates is 20 May.
