Radoslavov is Slavic in Origin.

Radoslavov is a South Slavic patronymic-surname form, most common in Bulgarian and Macedonian, built from the given name Radoslav plus the masculine possessive suffix -ov. It literally means “of Radoslav” or “son/descendant of Radoslav.” The base name combines Old Slavic elements rado (“joy, gladness”) and slav (“glory, fame”), yielding the sense “joyful glory” or “one who finds glory in joy.” While occasionally adopted as a modern, surname-style given name, Radoslavov traditionally functions as a family name or Bulgarian patronymic.

Documented in Bulgaria since the 19th century, it appears in public life (e.g., statesman Vasil Radoslavov). Feminine form: Radoslavova; older or foreign transliterations include Radoslavoff. Related personal-name variants are Radoslav and Radislav, with diminutives such as Rado, Radi, Radko, and Slavi. Parallel Slavic patronymic formations exist - Serbo-Croatian surnames ending in -ić (e.g., Radoslavić) and Polish forms like Radosławowicz - reflecting the same root and meaning.
