Sławosz
Fewer than 130 Polish men carry it, so meeting one sticks with you, but a few boys get it again each year and the count is climbing. The name comes from the Slavic sława, "glory".
Sławosz Pronunciation
Sławosz is pronounced SWAH-vosh (/ˈswavɔʂ/).
What Sławosz means
Where Sławosz comes from and what it has meant to the people who carry it.
Sławosz grows from the Slavic root sław-, meaning glory and fame. That root also builds Sławomir, where sław- joins mir, the old Slavic word for peace. The short form Sława comes from the same source.
The ending -osz shapes a full masculine name from that root. Slavic names like this reach back to the early Piast centuries. The sense of the word stayed close to the surface. Sława means glory in Polish, and chwała stands beside it. The Russian slava is a direct cognate.
Read out from a class register, Sławosz marks its owner as rare. Few boys share it now. The name-day calendar lists Sławomir, so a Sławosz often borrows that imieniny. The root underneath stays the same: sław-, glory and fame.
