What is the meaning of the name Casimiro ?

The baby name Casimiro is a Male name , 4 syllables long and is pronounced /kasiˈmiɾo/ (kah-see-MEE-roh).

Casimiro is Portuguese, Spanish in Origin.

Casimiro is the Spanish, Portuguese, and Italian form of Casimir, ultimately from the Slavic name Kazimierz. The elements are linked to kazać/kazić and mir, yielding meanings interpreted as “proclaimer or keeper of peace,” though an older scholarly view read the first element as “to destroy,” producing “destroyer of peace.” The positive, peace-related sense is now standard in most naming guides. A feminine counterpart, Casimira, exists, and informal nicknames include Casi and Miro.

Use spread to Iberia and Latin America through Catholic devotion to Saint Casimir, the 15th-century Polish-Lithuanian prince, and the name appears in Italian records as Casimiro. Related forms include Casimir (English/French), Kasimir (German, some Scandinavian use), Kazimierz (Polish), Kazimieras (Lithuanian), Kazimir/Казимир (Russian), and Kázmér (Hungarian). Traditional yet uncommon today, Casimiro offers Old World elegance and a cross-cultural, peace-bearing meaning that appeals to families seeking a distinctive classic.
