Subject: name history and explanations
Author: Mirna   (Authenticated as Mirna)

I just saw the explanation for my own name ''Mirna'' here, and I'd like to add some history to it as well :) According to the Croatian legend, Mirna was the name of king Tomislav's (that's the first Croatian king) daughter;)
Also I've noticed that the explanation on ''Krešimir'' explains only the second part ''mir'', this first part means ''to awake'', the words ''kresi, kresiti'' mean to sparkle, to awake, so the name ''Krešimir'' could be translated as ''the one who awakes peace'' ;)
