Wiarosława
Only 13 women in Poland carry this name, and none have been born since at least 2000. A Slavic compound of "wiara" and "sława": faith joined to glory.
Wiarosława Pronunciation
Wiarosława is pronounced vyah-ros-WAH-vah (/vjarɔsˈwava/).
What Wiarosława means
Where Wiarosława comes from and what it has meant to the people who carry it.
Wiarosława comes from two old Slavic roots. The first is wiara, faith. The second is sława, glory or fame. Set them side by side and Polish reads the name as wiara i sława. The English gloss keeps that shape: glorious faith.
The name belongs to a large family of Slavic compound names, where two plain words fuse into one. It has a masculine counterpart, Wiarosław, built from the same pair of roots. Both are rare now. On a school register a Wiarosława would likely sit alone, the only one in the class.
The meaning stays close to the surface. Anyone who knows the words can take the name apart and see wiara and sława looking back. Older Slavic naming worked this way, setting a virtue against a reward, faith beside glory. A child named Wiarosława wears both roots plainly, no translation required.
