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. remembered as one of the most successful rulers of early medieval Croatia, Zvonimir, like his predecessor Petar Krešimir IV, continued the policy of Croatian expansion in all fields. His death in 1089. was a turning point in Croatian history, because the succession crisis it caused was accompanied by a bloody war that resulted in the loss of Croatian independence.
