- Origin: Slavic
- Meaning: “to take glory.”
Berislav is primarily a Croatian male name, which is composed of the Old Slavic elements, bĭrati (to take, to gather), and slav (glory).
In Croatia, it is among the Top 500 Male Names.
While it could potentially be used in other Slavic countries, I could not find any evidence that this is used outside Croatia. I am all ears if anyone can find any info for me.
The designated name-days are February 25th and September 27th.
Diminutive forms include: Berica, Beri, Berko & Slavko.
The feminine form is Berislava.
