What is the meaning of the name Miroslava ?

The baby name Miroslava is a Female name , 4 syllables long and is pronounced IPA: /miːroʊˈslɑːvə/; respelling: mee-ROH-SLAH-vuh.

Miroslava is Slavic in Origin.

Rooted in the Slavic dithematic tradition, Miroslava is the feminine counterpart of Miroslav, built from mir (peace; world) and slav(a) (glory; fame). The name thus conveys ideas like glory of peace, renowned for peace, or celebrating the ordered world, virtues prized in early Slavic naming.

Documented across Central and Eastern Europe since medieval times, it waned under Christian naming dominance and re-emerged during 19th- and 20th-century national revivals, maintaining steady use in Czechia, Slovakia, the Balkans, Russia, and Ukraine. Forms include Miroslava (Czech, Slovak, Russian, Bulgarian, Serbian, Croatian), Myroslava (Ukrainian), and Polish Mirosława; the masculine is Miroslav. Nicknames and pet forms span Mira, Mirka, Slava/Slávka, and Slavka. The mid-century Czech-Mexican actress Miroslava (Stern) helped familiarize the name in Spanish-speaking countries, lending it an elegant, pan-Slavic yet international aura.
