What is the meaning of the name Lubov ?

The baby name Lubov is a Female name , 2 syllables long and is pronounced lyoo-BOHV.

Lubov is Slavic in Origin.

Lubov is a Slavic feminine name meaning “love,” from Old Church Slavonic ljubovĭ and the Common Slavic root ljub-/lyub-, “to love; dear.” It corresponds to Russian Любовь (pronounced lyu-BOF’), Ukrainian Любов (Liubov), Belarusian Любоў (Liubou), and Macedonian Љубов (Ljubov). The Latin-script form Lubov reflects a simplified transliteration of Lyubov/Liubov.

The name gained prominence in Eastern Orthodox tradition as one of Saint Sophia’s daughters - Vera (Faith), Nadezhda (Hope), and Lyubov (Love) - and has been used across Russia, Ukraine, Belarus, and the Balkans since medieval times, with notable revival in the 19th–20th centuries. Diminutives and affectionate forms include Lyuba/Luba, Lyubochka, and Lyubasha; related South Slavic Ljuba can be feminine or masculine. Cognate or root-related names include Ljubica (“little love”) and compounds such as Lyubomira/Ljubomira. Variant spellings: Lyubov, Liubov, Lubow (Polish contexts), Liubou (Belarusian).
