Damir 1 is a masculine given name with multiple possible origins. It is most commonly used in Croatian, Serbian, and Slovene.EtymologyThe name may derive from the Slavic elements danŭ “given” and mirŭ “peace, world”, thus meaning “given to peace” or “peace-giver”. Alternatively, it could be of Turkic origin (see Damir 2), from a variant of Turkic temür “iron”, or from Arabic ḍamīr “mind, heart, conscience”. Another theory connects it to the Russian phrase даёшь мировую революцию “bring on the world revolution” as an acronym.PopularityIn South Slavic regions, the name was popularized by a character from Marija Jurić Zagorka's novel Gordana (1935).Related NamesDiminutives include Dado 2 (Croatian).
