Branimir is a Slavic masculine given name formed from bran- ("to defend, protect") and -mir ("peace; world"), yielding the sense "defender of peace" or "one who safeguards the world's peace." It is especially rooted in the South Slavic sphere - Croatian, Serbian, Slovene, Bulgarian, and Macedonian - though it appears, more rarely, elsewhere in the Slavic-speaking world.

Borne by the 9th-century Croatian ruler Duke Branimir (c. 879-892), whose reign is commemorated by inscriptions and recognition from Pope John VIII, the name enjoyed sustained use in medieval Croatia, then saw renewed popularity during 19th-20th-century Slavic national revivals. Contemporary variants and nicknames include Brane, Branko, Brani, Bane, and Mirko; the feminine counterpart is Branimira (also Бранимира). In Cyrillic the name is written Бранимир. Related names built on the same elements include Branislav and Vladimir, though their meanings differ.
