Character Naming

As an Author naming your Character is an important step right after coming up with the plot. I am here to help you choose the right character name for you and your story.

Make sure your character name is Genre Appropriate. Make sure if it's a Historical Fiction novel or takes place in a real time period that the name was used then. Or if it's a fictionalized place then you can be as creative as you wish.

Just have fun with naming your character. It is after all your story.

Casimir

Meaning: (Proclamation of Peace, Keeping the Peace, Declaration of Peace, Peaceful, Destroyer of Peace, Famous Destroyer (of Peace)". Associated with Poland for her famous 11th-century king, who brought peace to the nation. Also a saint's name (15th century). Several Polish kings have borne this name, including Casimir III the Great and Saint Casimir, a patron saint of Poland and Lithuania. The name was imported into Western Europe via Germany, where it was borne by some royalty.)

Origin: (Polish, Slavic, English)

Pronunciation: (KAA-Ziy-Mih-R, KAH-zee-meer, KAZ-i-meer)

Gender: Male   

I was trying to find dark and light names for a character but I came across this name which I decided not to use in my story but decided to add to my blog. The meanings are very nice and strong. The meanings remind me of the name Vladimir *see on list of posts*. The name has a long history of use and has a handsome strong look. All around I like it a lot.

I try to have the most accurate Meanings, Origin and Pronunciations for the names on this blog. It is best though to do research into the names you decide to use for your characters as there can be errors on my blog. Or meanings, origins, and pronunciations I have not seen thus not been able to add to this blog.
