What is the meaning of the name Dagmara ?

The baby name Dagmara is a Female name , 3 syllables long and is pronounced Polish: /daɡˈmara/ (da-GMA-ra); English: /ˈdæɡməɹə/ (DAG-muh-ruh).

Dagmara is Norse in Origin.

Dagmara is the Polish feminine form of Dagmar, a name of Old Norse origin built from dagr “day” + mær/mærr, interpreted as “maiden of the day” or “glorious day.” Adopted into medieval Denmark, the name became beloved through Queen Dagmar (Markéta of Bohemia), whose 13th-century marriage to King Valdemar II and subsequent folk ballads popularized the form across Scandinavia and the Czech lands. From these cultural ties, the Polish variant Dagmara entered use, gaining steady though modest popularity in the 19th and 20th centuries.

Variants and related forms include Dagmar (Danish, Norwegian, Czech, Slovak, German) and Dagmāra (Latvian). Common diminutives are Daga and Dagusia in Polish, and Dáša in Czech and Slovak. The name evokes brightness and daytime clarity while bridging Slavic and Scandinavian traditions, making Dagmara a distinctive yet rooted choice.
