Radomir (Cyrillic script: Радомир) is a Slavic origin 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 "care, joy, love" and mir "peace, world, fame". Feminine form: Radomira.

Dragomir is a Slavic masculine name, mostly found in Serbia, Slovenia, Croatia, North Macedonia, Bulgaria, Russia, and Ukraine as well as Romania.

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. The female form of the name is Dragomira, Dragomirka and is also very popular.
