Radomir (Cyrillic : Радомир) is a Slavic masculine given name. The etymology of the original form of the name, Radomer, is from rat (old Slavonic for "war"), and mer ("merit, ability"), i.e. "able warrior". However, modern popular understanding in most Slavic languages would link the name to rad ("happy, willing") and mir ("peace, world, fame"). ^{[1] [2]}
