Source-derived summary

Zvonimir is a Croatian male given name, used since the Middle Ages.

The name was popular in the former Yugoslavia among the Croatian people because Dmitar Zvonimir was the Croatian king, who ruled from 1075 to 1089.

Editorial summary

This brief starts where responsible research should: with the source description of “Zvonimir” as male given name. Everything that follows is an evidence route, not borrowed authority.

Editorial reviewA practical starting point whose main value is the path it opens into stronger specialist and primary sources. The current lead gives the account dated anchors—1075, 1089—that can be checked directly. The selected authority fields contribute no independent date. The account is most persuasive where Zvonimir, male and given can be independently traced.
Editorial analysis

Why this record matters

The subject matters to the general reference register because the source frames it as male given name. Its deeper value depends on whether names, dates, institutions and citations support that framing.

Evidence profile

Vocabulary and entity names are the principal evidence signals here, because they determine the precision of every later search. The source revision retrieved here is dated Feb 6, 2026. The linked authority identifier is Q2372503. None of the 0 selected statements returned an explicit reference. The first chronological checks are 1075 and 1089.

Critical limits

Overview language is designed for orientation and should not be treated as a substitute for the evidence cited beneath it. The lead is largely declarative, so disagreement and counter-evidence require a deliberate search beyond the opening account. Authority statements aid reconciliation but still require their own references, qualifiers and ranks to be checked.

How to read it

Use the entry as an orientation point, then follow its citations and revision history. Names, dates and institutional relationships should be checked against the original record.
