📖 About Casemiro
Casemiro is the Portuguese form of Casimir, a name of Slavic origin meaning 'proclaimer of peace,' composed of 'kaziti' (command) and 'mir' (peace, world). Popularised in Europe through Saint Casimir of Poland, the name spread to the Iberian Peninsula and flourished in Brazil, where it carries an old-world warmth. Today it is best known internationally through Brazilian football star Casemiro (Carlos Henrique Casimiro), Champions League winner and Manchester United midfielder.
