Primož is a male given name, the South Slavic (primarily Slovenian) form of the Latin "Primus", meaning "first" or "best". Sequential birth-order numerical names were a Roman custom; a male firstborn might be named Primus, a third-born tertia Tertius, a fifth-born son Quintus, etc. The name Primož has Slavified equivalents in Prvan, Prvin and Prvoslav.
