Lutobor
The Slavic root spells it out: "luto-" for fierce, the same piece that sits in "luty", the old word for bitter cold and the name for February, and "-bor" for battle. No boy has been given it since at least 2000, and most Poles have never met one.

What Lutobor means
Where Lutobor comes from and what it has meant to the people who carry it.
Lutobor comes from Slavic, and it is built plainly. The first part, "luto-", meant fierce or harsh. The same root sits in Polish "luty", the old word for bitter cold and the modern name for February. The second part, "-bor", belongs to a verb for fighting and struggle, the piece that closes Bolebor and Dalibor. Read together, the name means srogi w walce, fierce in battle.
Old Slavic naming favored these two-part forms, and many worked as a wish laid on the child. Lutobor set out a plain one: be hard to beat in a fight.
The name is rare now. It surfaces mostly in name books and in lists of Old Slavic given names, without a modern name-day of its own. Written on a class register today, it would stand out at once. And it still says what it said a thousand years ago: fierce in battle.
