The name Ostromir is a boy's name of Slavic origin meaning "sharp peace".

The name of an 11th century ruler of Novgorod (one of the oldest cities in Russian), Ostromir is remembered for commissioning the Ostromir Gospels, the oldest dated Russian manuscript book. As such, this name has an element of historical grandeur. 
 
Derived from the Slavic elements ostro meaning "sharp" and mir meaning "peace", it may seem like a name of contrasts, but it could equally imply a firm or strict adherence to being peaceful. A rare choice, it is used very, very occasionally in Russia.
