Przemyslaw is Polish in Origin.
Przemyslaw is a West Slavic given name of Polish origin, formed from the elements przemysł (ingenuity, prudence) and -sław (glory, fame). Its sense is "famous for ingenuity" or "one who gains renown through shrewd thought." The standard Polish spelling is Przemysław, with the ł pronounced like an English w and ś softening the preceding sound.
The name appears in medieval Poland; rulers such as Przemysł I of Greater Poland and his son Przemysł II, crowned King of Poland in 1295, helped cement its prestige. It is closely related to Czech Přemysl, famed from the legend of Přemysl the Ploughman. Modern bearers include athletes and artists across Poland. Common hypocoristics are Przemek and Przemo; the shortened form Przemysł also occurs in historical records. A feminine counterpart, Przemysława, exists in Polish. In international use, the name is often written without diacritics as Przemyslaw.
| Przemysław of Oświęcim Przemysław of Oświęcim was a Polish duke best known for ruling Oświęcim from 1405 until his death in 1406. He was also Duke of half of both Głogów and Ścinawa from 1404, and is known in Polish as Przemysław Oświęcimski. |
