Belmyro is Portuguese, Spanish in Origin.

Belmyro is a modern, rare stylized form of the Portuguese and Galician name Belmiro, ultimately rooted in West Germanic elements bald “bold, brave” and mēri/mero “famous, renowned.” The compound yields the sense “bold and famous” or “renowned for courage.” Such Germanic-based names entered the Iberian onomastic stock via Visigothic influence and settled into medieval Portuguese records; Belmiro persisted regionally and later found renewed life in Portugal and Brazil, helped by notable bearers such as businessman Belmiro de Azevedo.

The spelling with y reflects contemporary aesthetic preferences in the Lusophone diaspora and Anglophone contexts, while the traditional form remains Belmiro. Related forms and nicknames include Miro and Belo; the feminine counterpart is Belmira. Cognate or parallel Germanic-based names conveying a similar meaning include Spanish Baldomero. Though uncommon, Belmyro offers a distinctive twist on a venerable Iberian classic with heroic overtones.
