It is used as a given name in South Slavic languages, especially Serbian and Bulgarian, while in Romanian, it is used as a surname.
The name is composed of the Slavic elements ''drag'' (dear, precious) and ''mir'' (peace), both very common in Slavic dithematic names.<ref>[https://www.behindthename.com/name/dragomir Behind the Name: Meaning, Origin and History of the Name Dragomir]</ref> It can be translated as ''To whom peace is precious'', i.e. ''He who cares about peace''. However, the ending ''mir'', found in many Slavic names, has developed from the Old Slavic term *''meru'' which meant 'large, great, greatly'. Thus the original Old Slavic meaning of the name would be ''He who is very dear'' or ''He who is very precious'' (to his family).
The female form of the name is ''Dragomira'' or ''Dragomirka''. The equivalent in Czech and Slovak languages is Drahomír / Drahomíra.
