What is the meaning of the name Uroš ?

The baby name Uroš is a boy name , 2 syllables long and is pronounced OO-rosh.

Uroš is Hungarian, Serbian, South Slavic in Origin.

Uroš is a South Slavic masculine name, with its earliest secure historical form in medieval Serbian as Uroš, Cyrillic Урош. The traditional etymology links it to Hungarian úr, lord or master, adapted into Serbian naming with the Slavic personal-name suffix -oš. On that analysis its literal sense is lord. A proposed Church Slavonic form urove, lords, appears secondary rather than the earliest personal-name form.

Medieval Serbia gives the name its strongest historical profile: several Nemanjić rulers bore it, including Stefan Uroš I and later kings and emperors, which made it a dynastic name. Usage remained centered in Serbian-speaking areas and neighboring former Yugoslav regions. Slovenian records also show it as a regular modern given name, with recent official rankings placing Uroš in the boys’ top hundred. Diacritic-free Uros is common in international transcription; Урош is the Serbian Cyrillic spelling.
