Libor
From the Latin word for "free". Only around 46 men in Poland carry it, and no boys have been given it in years, so most Poles will never meet one.
Libor Pronunciation
Libor is pronounced LEE-bor (/ˈlibɔr/).
What Libor means
Where Libor comes from and what it has meant to the people who carry it.
Libor grows from Latin liber, "free". The same root gave Rome its word for a free citizen and gave later Europe a stock of names built on liberty. Libor sits among them, close to the Latin adjective in sound and in sense.
A real bearer anchors the name. Saint Liborius of Le Mans, a bishop honoured since the fourth century, took the fuller church-Latin form Liborius, and Libor is its shorter Slavic cousin. He is invoked against gallstones, and his feast falls on 23 July. That date still marks the name-day for many who carry it.
Meaning stays plain here. "Free" is no later gloss stitched onto Libor. It is the origin, sitting in liber itself.
