About the name Krasimir
Etymology & meaning
Krasimir is a Slavic compound of "krasa" (beauty) and "mir" (peace/world) — "beauty and peace" or "beautiful world". The feminine Krasimira is equally widespread; Krasi serves both as the pet form.
History & patron saint
As a Slavic wishing-name, Krasimir has no saint of its own and by tradition celebrates on 1 July — together with Damyan and Kuzman, at the memory of the unmercenary healers Cosmas and Damian. Folk usage calls the day the "summer Holy Healers".
Traditions & customs
The feast is a summer one — guests in the yard or at the villa, a light table, and wishes for beauty in life and peace at home.
Popularity & notable bearers
Krasimir is among the signature Bulgarian names of the post-war generations; rarer for newborns today, though the patronymic Krasimirov is ubiquitous.
