Something like PRO-she-meer. The "O" like "O" in Olivia."si" in Polish is a "she" sound.

Thank you for your input, Kirke!Thank you, now I finally know how it is pronounced... and it is going to take me a little bit of time to get adapted to the correct pronunciation, because in my head, I had been pronouncing it as 'PRAW-see-meer' all this time. ;) Still, it nevertheless remains a beautiful name with an interesting and somewhat poetic meaning! It might be a viable option for me to honour my distant Polish heritage with someday (I have ancestors on my father's side of the family that hailed from Bydgoszcz). :)

I know, I already knew about it... as that is where I first encountered Prosimir in the first place. ;) Thank you for mentioning it anyway! :D
