The Slavic personal name Kresimir is formed by combining the verbal root "kres-iti," which means 'to wake' or 'to sparkle,' with the nominal root "-mir." This name appears in historical sources, particularly in documents related to students of a Russian secondary school in Serbia. For example, in 1935, a student named Kečkesh Kresimir attended this school, and in 1941, another student named Krajcar Kresimir was enrolled.
