Admir is a name of Albanian origin, derived from the word "admir" which means "to admire". It is composed of two elements: "ad-" meaning "to", and "-mir" meaning "to admire".
The name Admir has a rich history in Albania, where it has been used for centuries. It was particularly popular during the Ottoman Empire's rule over Albania, as many Albanians adopted Turkish influences into their culture, including naming conventions.
Over time, Admir became a staple of Albanian culture and is still widely used today. Despite its Albanian origins, Admir has also gained popularity in other countries with significant Albanian populations, such as Kosovo, North Macedonia, and Montenegro.
In recent years, Admir has started to appear more frequently on the radar of international parents looking for unique, meaningful names for their children. Its powerful and positive meaning continues to make it an appealing choice for parents who want to give their child a name that reflects admiration and respect.
The name Admir had a notable peak in popularity between 1994 and 2004 with a significant increase from 5 births in 1994 to 15 births in 2004, showing consistent growth over this decade. After 2004, the popularity declined but maintained a steady number of births per year until around 2008 when it started to fluctuate more significantly. Despite these fluctuations, there have been consistent births every year since 1988 except for the years between 2007 and 2016 where no data is available, with a total of 216 births recorded during this period.
