Jaromír, Jaromir, Jaroměr is a Slavic male given name.

Origin and meaning

Jaromír is a West Slavic given name composed of two stems jaro and mír. The meaning is not definite:

• Polish jary (archaic) = „spry, young, strong“; mir = „prestige, good reputation“
• Upper Sorbian jara = „very“; měr = „peace“
• old- Ruthenian jaro = „sun“; mir = „peace, world“
