Detailed Slovak etymology analysis

Lumír je novodobé české meno slovanského charakteru, doložené v Rukopise královédvorskom, kde ho nesie bájny pevec. Najčastejšie sa pokladá za literárny novotvar z obdobia českého národného obrodenia alebo za skrátenú podobu mena Lubomír, utvoreného zo slovanských základov ľub- vo význame „milý, milovať“ a mirъ vo význame „mier, pokoj“. Spájanie mena so slovesom lumiť sa vo význame „svietiť, presvitať“ je neistá hypotéza.
