'''Dragomir''' (pronounced Drah-go-meer) is a [[Slavic names|name of Slavic origin]], typical for [[Bulgaria]] and [[Serbia]], as well as [[Romania]]. It is composed of the Slavic words ''drag'' (dear, precious) and ''mir'' (peace). It can be translated as ''To whom peace is precious'', i.e. ''He who cares about peace''. It is sometimes used to be synonymous to "dragon" as dragons are often described as being fierce and violent, but also guardianlike and peaceful.
'''Dragomir''' ({{Cyrl|Драгомир}}) is a [[Slavic names|Slavic masculine name]], mostly found in [[Serbia]], [[Slovenia]], [[Croatia]], [[North Macedonia]], [[Bulgaria]], [[Russia]], and [[Ukraine]] as well as [[Romania]].
