Rymwid
Barely a living name: only seven Polish men carry it, and no boy has been given it this century. It's the Polish spelling of Lithuanian Rimvydas, built from a stem for calm and one for sight: a calm seer.
Rymwid Pronunciation
Rymwid is pronounced RIHM-veet (/ˈrɨmvit/).
What Rymwid means
Where Rymwid comes from and what it has meant to the people who carry it.
Rymwid is the Polish spelling of a Lithuanian name. Its Baltic form, Rimvydas, joins two old stems: `rim-`, from the verb rimti, meaning to calm or grow quiet, and `-vyd`, from a root meaning to see. Put together they give the meaning attached to the name: calm seer, spokojny, widzący.
Lithuanian names of this kind were built to hold a virtue. A person named Rimvydas was marked as someone who watches without alarm, who takes in what is around before speaking. The two halves stay legible now. You can hear rimti in the first syllable and the seeing root in the second.
In Poland the name is rare. On a school register it would sit apart from the Piotrs and Krzysztofs, a Baltic guest in Slavic company. It has no name-day of its own and no common diminutive.
What stays fixed is the pair of stems. Rym- for calm. -wid for sight. A calm seer, held in two words.
