Detailed Slovak etymology analysis

Poľské slovanské dvojčlenné meno, pôvodne doložené vo forme Kazimir. Tvorí ho prvok kazi- zo slovesa kaziť vo význame „ničiť, mariť“ a prvok -mir z praslovanského *mirъ „mier, pokoj“. Tradične sa preto vykladá ako „ten, kto ničí pokoj nepriateľov“. Výklad prvého člena zo slovesa *kazati „kázať, prikazovať“ a význam „ten, kto prikazuje mier“ je menej pravdepodobný.
