Miroslav

Meaning & origin

Miroslav is a boy's name of Slavic origin, traditionally used in Christian families. The name means "Peace and glory, the one whose fame comes from maintaining harmony — Miroslav weaves together the Slavic roots for peace and glory, creating a name that defines greatness not through conquest but through the preservation of harmony.
