Meaning & History
The first element of this name is possibly derived from Russian lug "meadow". Also compare modern Polish łąka, Czech louka and Slovak lúka, all of which also mean "meadow". All of them are ultimately derived from Old Church Slavonic lǫka "wet meadow, swamp, bay". The Old Church Slavonic word lañka "bend (in a river)" is also said to be derived from the same root - just compare modern Russian luká "bend (in a river or road)" and Polish łuk "bow, bend, curve". The second element of this name is derived from either Slavic mir "peace" or Slavic mer "great, famous". There is a river named Lugomir in central Serbia, in which case the described etymology above certainly makes sense. Perhaps the name of Lugomir really started out as a toponym at first, and eventually also came into use as a (very rare) male first name, thanks to parents who were inspired by the river.
