Origin
Meaning and history of Daimir
The name Daimir is of Slavic origin, with its roots primarily traced back to the ancient Serbo-Croatian language. It is believed to have evolved from the combination of two Slavic words, "dai" meaning "to give" and "mir" meaning "peace" or "world." This suggests that the name Daimir may have originally symbolized the concept of "one who brings peace to the world" or "a giver of peace."
The earliest recorded instances of the name Daimir can be found in medieval Slavic texts and historical chronicles from the 9th to 12th centuries. During this period, the name was predominantly used among Slavic tribes and kingdoms in the Balkan region, which encompassed parts of modern-day Croatia, Serbia, Bosnia, and Montenegro.
One of the earliest known individuals bearing the name Daimir was a Croatian nobleman who lived in the 11th century. Historical records mention him as a prominent figure in the court of King Petar Krešimir IV of Croatia, though little else is known about his life and deeds.
In the 13th century, a Serbian monk named Daimir gained recognition for his scholarly works and contributions to the Serbian Orthodox Church. He is credited with translating several religious texts from Greek into the Old Church Slavonic language, helping to preserve and disseminate these writings among Slavic communities.
During the 15th century, a Croatian military commander named Daimir Frankopan played a significant role in defending the city of Senj against Ottoman invasions. His bravery and leadership were celebrated in contemporary chronicles, and he is remembered as a key figure in the region's resistance against Ottoman expansion.
In the 17th century, a Serbian painter named Daimir Avramović achieved renown for his religious iconography and frescoes adorning several Orthodox monasteries in the region. His vibrant and intricate works are still admired today as examples of traditional Serbian artistic heritage.
The name Daimir also appeared among notable figures in more recent history. Daimir Kruščić was a Croatian writer and poet who lived in the late 19th and early 20th centuries. His literary works, which often explored themes of love, nature, and national identity, earned him recognition as one of the most influential poets of his time in Croatia.

FAQ
Daimir: questions and answers
How many people in the U.S. are named Daimir?
Name Census puts the figure at roughly 10 living Americans. We arrive at this by taking every SSA birth registration for Daimir going back to 1880 and adjusting each cohort for expected survival using CDC actuarial life tables. The result is an age-weighted living-bearer count, not a raw birth total. That works out to about 1 in 34,275,434 US residents.
Is Daimir a common name?
We classify Daimir as "Very Rare". It ranks above 28.5% of all first names in the SSA dataset by living bearers. Across the full history of the data, 10 babies have been registered with this name.
When was Daimir most popular?
The single biggest year for Daimir was 2020, when 5 babies received the name. The fact that the average living Daimir is about 6 years old gives you a rough sense of which era contributed the most bearers who are still alive today.
What does the SSA popularity chart show?
The chart tracks births, not the number of people alive with the name today. Each point shows how many babies were given the name Daimir in that year. That makes it useful for spotting when the name rose, peaked, or faded.
Is Daimir a male name?
Yes, 100.0% of people registered as Daimir in the SSA data are male. You can see the full per-sex comparison in the gender distribution section above, which includes the latest year rank, birth count, and peak year for each sex.
Is Daimir still being used today?
Yes. The SSA still recorded Daimir in 2024, and the page above shows its latest-year rank where available. A name can be well past its peak and still remain in steady use, especially if it built up a large population over earlier decades.
Why can a name have a lot of living bearers even if it is not trendy now?
Because living-bearer counts and current baby-name popularity measure different things. A name like Daimir can build up a very large population over many decades, even if fewer parents are choosing it now than they did at its peak.
Where does this data come from?
First-name figures come from the Social Security Administration's national baby name files, which cover every name on a birth certificate from 1880 to 2024. Living-bearer estimates layer in CDC actuarial life tables broken out by sex to account for mortality. The population baseline (342,754,338) is the Census Bureau's latest national estimate. You can read the full calculation on our methodology page.
Does every first name have Census demographic data?
No. The public Census first-name release only covers names that met the Bureau's publication rules, so many rarer names in the SSA files do not have a published Census demographic snapshot. In those cases, the page still shows the SSA trend, gender history, and state data.
