Ratimir is an ancient Slavic personal name composed of two roots, recorded in 1127. At that time, its form was Ratьmrъ, used in the phrase "Rat'-mirya dubrava," which translates to "Ratimir's grove" in the Chernigov land. This name consists of two parts: "rat," which may signify battle or combat, and "mir," symbolizing peace or tranquility. Thus, Ratimir can be interpreted as "one who brings peace through struggle."
