Origin: Bulgarian/Czech/Serbo-Croatian/Slovakian/Slovenian
Meaning “broken glory.”
The name is composed of the Old Slavonic elements pribi meaning “pierced, broken” and slav “glory.” It was borne by several medieval Slavic princes. There is another Serbian male form which is Prvoslav. There are the obscure Polish forms, Przybysław and Przybysława (thanks to Magdalena for providing the info for the Polish forms).
The Polish forms are Przybysław and Przybysława. The first element of the name is przyby- in Polish and there are quite a few old names with this element.
Oh yes. I should have known that. I knew there was a Polish form and Pribislaw just didn’t seem right. Thanks for providing the info 🙂
