Origin
Meaning and history of Kazmere
The name Kazmere is a unique and intriguing moniker with roots that can be traced back to various cultures and linguistic origins. One possible derivation suggests that it may have emerged from the Slavic word "kazimir," which itself is derived from the Old Prussian name "Kazimiras." This name is believed to have its origins in the ancient Prussian tribe that inhabited regions of modern-day Poland and Lithuania.
Another theory proposes that Kazmere may have evolved from the Persian name "Casimir" or "Kazimir," which means "the destroyer of peace." This name was popularized by a Polish king, Casimir III the Great, who ruled from 1333 to 1370 and was renowned for his military prowess and territorial expansions.
In the realm of religious significance, the name Kazmere is closely associated with Saint Casimir, the patron saint of Poland and Lithuania, who lived in the 15th century. He was venerated for his piety, asceticism, and commitment to religious life, and his name has been widely adopted by devout Christians throughout Eastern Europe.
The earliest recorded instances of the name Kazmere can be traced back to the 16th century, although its usage was primarily confined to Eastern European regions. Notable individuals who bore this name include Kazmere Despot (1556-1589), a Serbian nobleman and military leader who played a crucial role in the Long War against the Ottoman Empire.
As the name spread throughout Europe, it gained recognition in various forms, such as Casimir, Kazimierz, and Kazmere. One of the most renowned figures with this name was Casimir Pulaski (1745-1779), a Polish military leader who fought for American independence during the Revolutionary War and is regarded as a hero in both Poland and the United States.
Other notable individuals with the name Kazmere include Kazmere Cegielski (1809-1868), a Polish industrialist and philanthropist who established one of the largest machine-building factories in the Russian Empire, and Kazmere Malewicz (1878-1935), a Polish-Russian avant-garde artist and pioneer of the Suprematist movement in art.
While the name Kazmere has its roots in Eastern European cultures, it has gradually gained popularity in other parts of the world, often with variations in spelling and pronunciation. Its unique and distinctive sound has captured the imagination of many, making it a captivating choice for parents seeking a name with historical depth and cultural richness.

FAQ
Kazmere: questions and answers
How many people in the U.S. are named Kazmere?
Name Census puts the figure at roughly 11 living Americans. We arrive at this by taking every SSA birth registration for Kazmere going back to 1880 and adjusting each cohort for expected survival using CDC actuarial life tables.

We classify Kazmere as "Very Rare". It ranks above 30.8% of all first names in the SSA dataset by living bearers. Across the full history of the data, 11 babies have been registered with this name.
When was Kazmere most popular?
The single biggest year for Kazmere was 2019, when 6 babies received the name. The fact that the average living Kazmere 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 Kazmere in that year. That makes it useful for spotting when the name rose, peaked, or faded.
Is Kazmere a male name?

Is Kazmere still being used today?
Yes. The SSA still recorded Kazmere 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 Kazmere 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.
