Cedomil is in Origin.

Cedomil is a South Slavic masculine name derived from the elements čedo “child” and mil- “dear, gracious, favor,” from Proto-Slavic milŭ. It conveys senses such as “beloved child,” “dear to children,” or “kind, affectionate to the young,” aligning with the broader Slavic -mil name family that emphasizes endearment and benevolence.

Documented in Croatia, Serbia, Bosnia and Herzegovina, and Montenegro, the name gained visibility in the 19th–20th centuries amid the revival of native Slavic naming alongside forms like Bogomil and Dragomil; it remains uncommon but familiar today. Standard spelling uses the diacritic Čedomil in South Slavic orthographies, while Cedomil serves as an international or simplified form. Related variants include the feminine Čedomila and the cognate Čedomir (“child + peace”). Common diminutives are Čedo, Čeda, and Milo/Mile. As a non-ecclesiastical choice, Cedomil has seen cross-confessional use among both Orthodox and Catholic South Slavs.
