Damir is a male given name.

In the Balkans, Damir is popular among Bosniaks, Croats, and Serbs in the former Yugoslav nations, where it is interpreted as a locally originated given name, derived from da- meaning "give" and mir meaning "peace." [1] [2] In 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 and Turkic regions of Russia (see Tatar names), where it is considered a variation of the Turkic name "Demir", which means iron. During the Soviet era, Damir (Дамир) was also used as an acronym for "Да здравствует мировая революция", meaning "Long Live the World Revolution". [4]
