Name «Zhelymyr»

The personal name 'Zhelymyr' is derived from the forgotten name of the Uzhhorod hill Zhelymyr, which was mentioned as a former vineyard on the northern outskirts of the regional center near Daibozh Mountain in medieval Uzhhorod. The name consists of the verbal root 'Zhely-' (to wish, to aspire) and the noun 'myr' (peace). Therefore, the original meaning of the name could be 'one who aspires for peace'. It can also be compared to Polish medieval names: Żelibor, Żeliborz, Żelimysl, Żelislaw, Żelistryj. The name 'Zhelymyr', like 'Żelibor' and 'Zelislav', is known in the Czech Republic and Serbia.
