Kanymyr

Dictionary meaning

Kanimir is an ancient Slavic bi-root name, consisting of the archaic verb "kaniti," meaning 'to call, to invite,' and the noun "mir," which translates as 'peace.' Written mentions of this personal name in Ukraine are scarce. For example, in 1486, the name Stephan Капутуг de Stephankowycze is encountered. Kanimir was quite a common name in medieval Poland. Specifically, in 1438, the name Kanimir de Pribislawicz is recorded in the city of Krakow. There is also a mention from 1433: Canimyer, Chelmensi subcamerario.
