Mojmir
Two old Slavic pieces sit inside it: *moj*, my, and *mir*, both peace and the world. Together they read as my peace, my world. It's rare in Poland now, a name most people have never met and one a class register notices at once.
Mojmir Pronunciation
Mojmir is pronounced MOY-meer (/ˈmɔjmir/).
What Mojmir means
Where Mojmir comes from and what it has meant to the people who carry it.
Mojmír is built from two old Slavic pieces. The first, moj, means "my." The second, mir, means both peace and the world itself. Put together they give the Polish reading of the name, mój pokój, moje dobro, my peace and my good.
The name has a documented past. Mojmír I ruled Great Moravia in the ninth century and founded the Mojmirid dynasty. So it reached the record of history early, attached to a Slavic prince rather than to a saint. That places its origin before the church calendars, in the older layer of Slavic naming.
There is a feminine form, Mojmira, for a daughter who carries the same roots. On a Polish class register the name stands apart from the Jakubs and Kacpers. A teacher reading it aloud meets those two parts, moj and mir, in one breath. The meaning stays close to the surface: my peace, my world.
When Mojmir celebrates name day
Mojmir appears 2 times in the Polish name day calendar, never as a main name. The first of these dates is 10 January.
Rarer dates. Only the most complete calendars add this name on these days. Most skip them, so hardly anyone celebrates then.
