Meaning & History
The first element of this name is derived from the Polish adjective przed "in front of, before" (the latter can also be used to refer to an earlier point in time), which is ultimately derived from Proto-Slavic perdъ "in front of, against". Also compare modern Russian pered and Serbo-Croatian pred, both of which mean "before, in front of". The second element of this name is either derived from Slavic mir "peace" or Slavic mer "great, famous". In other words, one could say that this name is the Polish cognate of Predimir.
