Lubomír

Lubomír is a masculine given name of Slavic origin, used predominantly in the Czech Republic and Slovakia. It is generally understood to derive from Slavic roots such as lub- meaning love or dear, and -mír meaning peace, world, or, in some interpretations, fame. The combination is often rendered as “dear peace” or “beloved world.”

In Czech and Slovak usage, Lubomír has a long tradition and appears in various Slavic-language forms, including Ljubomir in Serbo-Croatian and related variants in other languages. The name is typically written with diacritics in Czech and Slovak (Lubomír) and has several informal forms and diminutives, such as Lubík or Lubo.

Notable bearers of the name include Lubomír Štrougal (1924–2023), a Czech politician who served as prime minister of Czechoslovakia from 1970 to 1988, and Lubomír Zaorálek (born 1956), a Czech politician who has held senior government posts and served as foreign minister. The name remains in use today, primarily in Czechia and Slovakia, and its variants are found across Slavic-speaking regions.
