Drogomir
A Slavic name built from two old roots: *drog*, dear or precious, and *mir*, peace, a person to whom peace is dear. It has all but vanished: just four men in Poland carry it, and most Poles have never met one.
Drogomir Pronunciation
Drogomir is pronounced dro-GO-meer (/drɔˈgɔmir/).
What Drogomir means
Where Drogomir comes from and what it has meant to the people who carry it.
Drogomir belongs to the old family of Slavic dithematic names, built from two roots joined into one. The first, drog, means dear or precious, the same root that gives Polish drogi. The second, mir, means peace. Together they read as dear peace, a person to whom peace is precious.
Names of this shape were once given across the Slavic world before the arrival of Christian calendars. Drogomir has a feminine counterpart, Drogomira, which follows the same pattern and holds the same sense.
The meaning is short. A person for whom peace is dear.
Today the name is rare. A boy called Drogomir might be the only one on his school register, his name a piece of early Polish naming beside the Kubas and the Anteks. The second root still says what it said a thousand years ago: mir, peace, kept as something precious.
When Drogomir celebrates name day
Drogomir appears 4 times in the Polish name day calendar, never as a main name. The first of these dates is 18 July.
Rarer dates. Only the most complete calendars add this name on these days. Most skip them, so hardly anyone celebrates then.
