**Damir** is a male given name.

In the [Balkans](/source/Balkans), Damir is popular among [Bosniaks](/source/Bosniaks), [Croats](/source/Croats), and [Serbs](/source/Serbs) in the former [Yugoslav](/source/Yugoslavia) nations, where it is interpreted as a locally originated given name, derived from *da-* meaning "give" and *mir* meaning "peace."[1][2] In [Croatia](/source/Croatia), the name Damir was among the most popular masculine given names between the 1960s and 1990s.[3] This region also has a female equivalent of the name: Damira.

The name also appears in [Central Asia](/source/Central_Asia) and Turkic regions of [Russia](/source/Russia) (see [Tatar names](/source/Tatar_name)), where it is considered a variation of the [Turkic name](/source/Turkic_people) "Demir", which means *iron*. During the [Soviet](/source/Soviet_Union) era, Damir (Дамир) was also used as an acronym for "Да здравствует мировая революция", meaning "Long Live the World Revolution".[4]
