[[Given names]] originating from the [[Slavic languages]] are most common in [[Slavic peoples|Slavic countries]].

The main types of '''Slavic names''':
* Two-base names, often ending in mir/měr (''Ostromir/měr'', ''Tihomir/měr'', ''[[Niemir|Němir/měr]]''), *voldъ (''Vsevolod'', ''Rogvolod''), *pъlkъ (''Svetopolk'', ''Yaropolk''), *slavъ (''Vladislav'', ''Dobroslav'', ''Vseslav'') and their derivatives (''Dobrynya, Tishila, Ratisha, Putyata'', etc.)
* Names from flora and fauna (''Shchuka'' - [[Northern pike|pike]], ''Yersh'' - [[ruffe]], ''Zayac'' - [[hare]], ''Wolk''/''[[Vuk (name)|Vuk]]'' - [[wolf]], ''Orel'' - [[eagle]])
* Names in order of birth (''Pervusha'' - born first, ''Vtorusha''/''Vtorak'' - born second, ''Tretiusha''/''Tretyak'' - born third)
* Names according to human qualities (''Hrabr'' - brave, ''Milana/Milena'' - beautiful, ''Milosh'' - beloved, ''Nadezhda -'' hope)
* Names containing the root of the name of a Slavic deity (''Troyan'', ''Perunek/Peruvit'', ''Yarovit'', ''Stribor'', ''Šventaragis''{{refn|group=note|Šventaragis or Świntorog - legendary Lithuanian prince, son of Utenus, grandson of Kukovoit, great-great-grandfather of [[Daumantas of Pskov|Dovmont]].}}, ''Veleslava'')

==History==

In [[Slavic paganism|pre-Christian traditions]], a child less than 7&ndash;10 years old would bear a "substitutional name", the purpose of which was to deflect attention from the child and thereby to protect it from the curiosity of evil powers. The practice was largely the result of the high mortality rate of young children at the time.<ref>{{cite web|url=http://www.zielarze.pl/slowianie_codzienne.htm#imiona/|title=Słowianie codziennie, imiona|language=pl|url-status=dead|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20100302175050/http://www.zielarze.pl/slowianie_codzienne.htm#imiona/|archive-date=2010-03-02}}</ref> A child who survived to 7&ndash;10 years was considered worthy of care and was granted adult status and a new adult name during a ritual [[first haircut]].<ref>{{cite web|url=http://interia360.pl/artykul/obrzedy-zwiazane-z-narodzinami,36092|title=Obrzędy związane z narodzinami|language=pl}}</ref>

Traditional names remained dominant until the [[Slavic peoples|Slavic nations]] converted to [[Christianity]]. Since then, however, baptismal names came into use, which were given after the [[patron saint]] of the newly baptized. Even after that, the traditional names persisted in everyday use, while in religious matters [[baptismal name]] was involved; thus, many persons had and used two names simultaneously. This is exemplified by how the Slavic saints of that time are referred to up to nowadays: e.g. St. [[Boris and Gleb]], in holy baptism Roman and David. As the Slavic saints became more numerous, more traditional names entered the Church calendar; but more prominent was the overall decline in the number of people bearing traditional names. Finally, in 16th&ndash;17th century the traditional Slavic names which did not enter the calendar of either Orthodox or Catholic Church generally fell out of use. For Catholic Slavs, the decisive event was the [[Council of Trent]] (1545&ndash;63) decreed that every [[Catholic Church|Catholic]] should have a [[Christian name]] instead of a native one.

===Names in Poland===

After the ban on native non-Christian names imposed by the Council of Trent, the [[Szlachta|Polish nobility]] (especially [[Protestantism|Protestants]]) attempted to preserve traditional names, such as [[Zbigniew]] and [[Jaroslav (disambiguation)|Jarosław]]. Ordinary people, however, tended to choose names solely from the Christian calendar, which contained only a handful of Slavic saints' names, in particular: [[Casimir|Kazimierz]] (St. Casimir), [[Stanislav (given name)|Stanisław]] (St. Stanislaus), [[Wenceslaus I, Duke of Bohemia|Wacław]] (St. Wenceslaus) and [[Vladislav|Władysław]] (St. Ladislaus).<ref>{{cite web|url=http://mitologie.wordpress.com/imiona-slowianskie/|title=Imiona słowiańskie|date=12 December 2008 |language=pl}}</ref> Slavic names that referred to God (e.g., [[Bogdan]], [[Bogomil (name)|Bogumił]]) were also permitted.<ref name="zielarze.pl">{{cite web|url=http://www.zielarze.pl/slowianie_codzienne.htm#imiona|title=Imiona Słowiańskie na ziemiach polskich|language=pl|url-status=dead|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20100302175050/http://www.zielarze.pl/slowianie_codzienne.htm#imiona|archive-date=2010-03-02}}</ref>

===Names in Kievan Rus'===

East Slavic names were based on common Slavic names such as [[Vladimir (name)|Volodiměrŭ]] (''Володимѣръ -'' "great ruler"), [[Sviatopolk (disambiguation)|Svętopŭlkŭ]] (''Свѧтопълкъ - "''holy regiment"), [[Yaropolk (disambiguation)|Jęropŭlkŭ]] (''Ѩропълкъ -'' "furious regiment"), [[Vojislav|Voislavŭ]] (''Воиславъ - "''glorious warrior"), [[Borislav|Borislavŭ]] (''Бориславъ'' - "glorious fighter"), [[Boris (given name)|Borisŭ]] (''Борисъ'' - "fighter"),<ref>{{cite web | url=https://lexicography.online/etymology/vasmer/б/борис | title=«Борис» в словаре М. Фасмера }}</ref> [[Lubomir|Liubomirŭ]] (''Любомиръ'' - "loves the peace"), [[Ratibor (given name)|Ratiborŭ]] (Ратиборъ "war fighter"), [[Vadim (name)|Vadimŭ]] ("Вадимъ") or Badan (belonging to the wind spirit "Badan"){{Citation needed|date=May 2024}}, [[Yaroslav (disambiguation)|Jęroslavŭ]]<!--intentional link to DAB page--> (''Ѩрославъ''), [[Iziaslav (disambiguation)|Izęslavŭ]] (''Изѧславъ'' "The one who took the glory"), [[Mstislav (given name)|Mstislavŭ]] (''Мстиславъ'' "glorious revenge"), [[Vsevolod (given name)|Vĭsevolodŭ]] (''Вьсеволодъ'' "lord of everything"). In the 11th century, after the growing influence of the Christian Church, the tendency to use the names of saints of the Greek Church has increased and most pagan names were displaced by Christian names.

===Names today===
[[File:Kresimir_(boat).JPG|thumb|Slavic origin name on the boat]]
Since [[Romantic nationalism|national revivals]] during 19th and 20th centuries, traditional names, especially of historical rulers and heroes, regained popularity. For example, in [[Poland]] many forgotten names were resurrected, such as [[Bronisław (disambiguation)|Bronisław]], [[Boleslaus|Bolesław]], [[Dobiesław (disambiguation)|Dobiesław]], [[Dobroslaw (name)|Dobrosław]], Jarosław, [[Mirosław (given name)|Mirosław]], [[Przemysław]], [[Radosław (disambiguation)|Radosław]], [[Sławomir]], [[Wiesław]], [[Zdzisław (given name)|Zdzisław]], and Zbigniew; and new ones created, such as Lechosław and Wieńczysław.<ref name="zielarze.pl" /> Today, traditional Slavic names are accepted by the [[Christianity|Christian Church]] and are given at a child's [[baptism]].

==Meanings==

Old Slavic names were built with one or two [[lexeme]]s:

===Single-lexeme names===

Single-lexeme names were derived from ordinary or adjectival words and were usually, though not always, borne by peasants, e.g.: Baran (ram), Szydło (awl), Kąkol (cockle), Broda (beard, chin), Żyła (vein), Uchacz (ear-man), Łopata (shovel), Żaba (frog), Rus (Ruthenian/Russian man), Cich (silent man), etc.<ref name="zielarze.pl" /> Many names of this kind are used today, for example:

===Dithematic names===
{{more citations needed|date=May 2017}}
<!-- [[Slavic dithematic names]] redirects here -->
Dithematic names are built with two lexemes. Kaleta 1995 notes that "In the case of Old Germanic and Old Slavic personal names, the dithematic name form contained a wish for the new-born child. These wishes pertained to the values that obtained in these early times".<ref name="Langendonck2007">{{cite book|url=https://books.google.com/books?id=B7jOGz7zMnwC&pg=PA83|title=Theory and Typology of Proper Names|publisher=Walter de Gruyter|year=2007|isbn=978-3-11-019086-1|pages=83–|author=Willy van Langendonck}}</ref> In Poland alone, over 600 [[masculine name]]s, 120 [[feminine name]]s and 150 different affixes ([[lexeme]]s) are known. These have been reconstructed from place names and the (scarce) written sources such as the [[Bull of Gniezno]].<ref name="zielarze.pl" /> Certain names were reserved for monarchs (e.g. in Poland: Kazimierz, Władysław, Bolesław).<ref>{{cite web|url=http://www.gazetadobryznak.pl/index.php?art=171|title=Od Bolesława do Kosmacza|date=15 August 2020 |language=pl}}</ref> Examples are listed below. As an example of the pattern: Władysław contains the prefix ''wład'' (to rule, ruler) and the suffix ''sław'' (fame, glory). Note that feminine equivalents usually end in ''a'' (e.g. [[Bogusław (given name)|Bogusław]] - Bogusław''a'').

===Participle-built names===

These are derived either from the [[past participle]] (in the passive voice), e.g.: [[Bojan]], Chocian, Kochan, Miłowan, Pomian, Stator, Wygnan, or the [[present participle]] (in the active voice), e.g.: Cieszym, Myślim, Radzim, Borzym. Such names are repositories of perhaps the largest source of sociological data about the ancient [[Slavic people]].<ref>D. Podlawska, "Gramatyka historyczna języka polskiego z elementami staro-cerkwienno-słowiańskiego i dialektologii", Wydawnictwo Naukowe Akademii Pomorskiej w Słupsku, Słupsk 2003|page 156-157, {{ISBN|83-88731-23-8}}</ref>
They have a variety of purposes, which can be listed as follows:
* names containing a good wish, e.g. Kochan ('let him be loved'), [[Milan (given name)|Milan]].
* names referring to affection for the new born child, e.g. Obiecan ('promised'), Żdan ('promised', 'expected'),
* names protecting from evil (consisting of lexemes with a negative, deterring effect) e.g. Wygnan, Mazan, Grozim, [[Niemir]].<ref>M.Malec "Wkład krakowskiego językoznastwa w polonistycznego do nauki o imionach osobowych" w LingVaria 2006/1, Wydział Polonistyki UJ, Księgarnia Akademicka, Kraków 2006, pages 127-131, {{ISBN|83-7188-921-6}}</ref>
Other examples: Poznan ('known', 'recognized'), Goszczon (being a guest at someone's place), Krszczon ('baptized'), [[Radovan (name)|Radovan]], [[Dragan]], [[Željan]], Dejan, [[Nayden]], [[Mirjana]].

===Diminutive and hypocoristic names===
