Linguistic explanation and meaning

Refers to the ancient Syrian city of Palmyra, a place associated with palm trees.

Detailed Slovak etymology analysis

Meno Palmíra vzniklo z latinského názvu Palmȳra, resp. Palmīra, označujúceho staroveké sýrske mesto známe v slovenčine ako Palmýra. Latinský názov nadväzuje na grécke Palmyra; jeho hlbší pôvod nie je celkom istý a býva spájaný so semitským pomenovaním datľovej palmy. Priame odvodzovanie mena od latinského palma alebo palmarius ani súvislosť s narodením na Kvetnú nedeľu nemožno pokladať za spoľahlivo doloženú etymológiu.
