Dragoslava is a South and West Slavic feminine name formed from the elements drago ("dear, precious, beloved") and slava ("glory, fame"), yielding meanings such as "precious glory" or "beloved glory."

The form Dragoslava predominates in Serbian, Croatian, Bosnian, Montenegrin, Bulgarian, and Macedonian contexts; related forms appear across the Slavic world.

Attested in medieval Slavic naming before widespread Christianization, the name survived in church and civil records and was notably preserved in Orthodox and folk traditions.

Variants include Drahoslava (Czech, Slovak) and Drogosława (Polish); the masculine is Dragoslav/Drogosław. Diminutives and hypocoristics include Draga, Slava, Slavka, and Draža.
