What Miraslau means
Where Miraslau comes from and what it has meant to the people who carry it.
Miraslau comes from two old Slavic words. Mir means peace, and in the same breath it once meant the world. Slav means glory. Put together, they give the name its short meaning: peace and glory. The Polish form of the name is Mirosław.
The spelling Miraslau leans east. It is how the name reads in Belarusian, where Mirosław appears as Мiраслаў. Day to day, a boy with this name answers to Mirek. The feminine Mirosława shares the same two roots. That second root, slav, also ends Bolesław and Władysław.
Picture a school register in Poland. A Mirek is marked present, the short form already standing in for Mirosław on the page. The long name waits for official forms at the urząd. Behind all of them sits one Slavic root, mir, peace.
