Kazimir

Meaning of Kazimir

The name Kazimir, pronounced kah-ZEE-meer in Polish and kah-zee-MEER in Russian, originates from the Old Slavic elements kaziti (“to proclaim”) and mir (“peace”) and appears in medieval Latin records as Casimirus. Historically, it was borne by three Polish kings and carried a sense of noble authority across Eastern Europe. In the United States, Kazimir has sustained modest yet rising popularity, ranking 877th with 47 newborns in 2024 after climbing steadily from 921st in 2016. Its clear phonetics and rich backstory have also resonated within Latin American communities, where it integrates smoothly into Spanish pronunciation. This blend of royal lineage and transcontinental appeal positions Kazimir as a name both rooted in tradition and suitably modern.
