A few more of early date:
<Zebemir> 864 (a 'servus'), identified as OSloven.
*Sebe^mir, from *sebe^ 'sich' and mirU 'Frieden'.
<Sclaomir> 819 ('Abodritorum rex'), identified as
Polabo-Pomeranian *Slavomir, from *slava 'Ruhm, Ehre'.
<Dobremiro> (obl.) 992 (described in the notes as 'Fürst der
beiden Lausitzen'), identified as OSorb. *Dobromir, from
*dobrU 'gut'.
<Jarmir> 1025 ('miles'), identified as OSorb. *Jarmir <
*Jaromir, from *jarU, with reflexes glossed variously
'eifrig, kühn, stark; herb, streng; sehr; bitter; herb,
bitter, jähzornig, roh, hart'.
<Dragomir> (f.) late 10th c. ('ducens uxorem nomine D., ex
provincia Sclavorum paganorum, que Ztodor dicitur'),
identified as Slav. *Dragomir(a), from *dorgU 'lieb, teuer'.
<Tugumir> 939 ('quidam Sclavus, dictus T.'), identified as
Slav. *Tugomir, from *to~gU, with reflexes glossed variously
'tapfer; fest, stark, kräftig, tüchtig'.
These are taken from G. Schlimpert, Slawische Personennamen
in mittelalterlichen Quellen zur deutschen Geschichte;
asterisks and derivations are his.
