Strachomir, Strahomir

• Origin: Slavic
• Meaning: “fear of peace.”
• Gender: Male
• Pol pron (STRAH-ho-MEER)

The name is composed of the Old Slavonic elements, stracho (fear) and mir (peace). Strachomir is the Polish form, it is first recorded in Poland in 1386 but has since fallen out of use.

It spun off the Medieval Czech and Polish male name, Strachota, which was used as a vernacular form of the Greek name, Methodius which also means “fear.” A hypothetical female form would be Strachomira.

Hypothetical Polish diminutive forms would be, Stracha, Strachot, Strasz, Straszech, Straszek, and Straszko.

The South Slavic forms are Strahimir Страхомир, Strahomir Страхимир, and Strashimir Страшимир.

Strashimirite is a type of mineral which was discovered by Bulgarian minereologist Jordanka Minčeva-Stefanova who named it after Bulgarian minerologist, Strashimir Dimitrov (1892–1960).

Strashimira Страшимирa is a Bulgarian feminine form and it is borne by Bulgarian volleyball player, Strashmira Filipova (b. 1985).

The designated name day in Croatia is September 9.
