Branimir (Cyrillic: Бранимир) is a Slavic male given name.
It is a combination of the (Slavic) verb braniti ("to defend") and the noun mir ("the world" or "peace" in Old Slavic), and hence means "the one who defends the world/peace".
It is especially common in Croatia, Serbia, Slovenia, Bosnia and Herzegovina, Bulgaria, Ukraine, the Czech Republic, Slovakia, and Poland.
The female version is Branimira and Branimirka.
The Polish version is Bronimir.
