Elvir is both a given name and a surname. It is the male equivalent to the female name Elvira and holds the same meaning of happiness, spear, and truth.
In the Balkans, Elvir is popular among Bosniaks in the former Yugoslav nations, likely due to the popularity of the name Elvira among Bosniak women. By dropping the a, it becomes the male equivalent, which aligns with the naming conventions in these countries.
