boryslav is Slavic in Origin.

Boryslav is a masculine Slavic compound from Old Slavic bor- "to fight, struggle" and -slav "glory, fame," yielding the sense "glorious fighter" or "one who wins glory in battle." It appears across East and South Slavic languages; the Polish form is Borysław, Czech Bořislav, and South Slavic/Bulgarian Borislav, with Ukrainian standard spelling Boryslav (also the name of a city in Lviv Oblast). Related names include Boris and the broader -slav family such as Miroslav and Vyacheslav.

Names ending in -slav were favored among medieval Slavic elites and re-emerged during 19th-20th-century national revivals, which helped keep Boryslav and Borislav in periodic use. Diminutives and nicknames vary by language: Boryk, Boro, Borko, and Slava/Slavko are common. Variant spellings: Boryslav, Borysław, Bořislav, Borislav; feminine counterparts like Borislava or Boryslava exist in several traditions.
