Horimir is Slavic in Origin.

Horimir is a Slavic masculine name built from the elements hor-/gora (“mountain, highland”) and -mir (“peace, world, community; also ‘quiet’), yielding meanings such as “peace of the mountains,” “mountain-born peace,” or “one who brings calm to high places.” It belongs to the broad family of -mir names favored across medieval Slavia and enjoyed periodic revivals during 19th–20th-century national awakenings.

Most familiar in the Czech cultural sphere via the legendary hero Horymír (spelled Horymír in Czech; often rendered Horymir/Horimir abroad), it also appears as Gorimir (Serbian/Croatian), Gorymir (Polish), and occasionally Horomir in other South or West Slavic contexts. Diminutives include Mirek, Mirko, Hory/Hori, and Goro. Feminine counterparts are Horimira, Horymíra, and Gorymira. Today the name is rare but distinctive, carrying connotations of steadfastness, quiet strength, and harmony with nature while remaining easily parsed by speakers of many Slavic languages.
