Sobiesław

Sobiesław (Proto-Slavic: *Sobęslavь, Church Slavonic: Собѧславь, romanized: Sobęslavǐ) is a Polish masculine given name. By one hypothesis, it derived from sobie ('for me', 'myself') and sław ('glory', 'prestige'). Another suggestion is that derived from a Proto-Indo-European name meaning 'wise-famous', cognate with Sophocles (roots *sap and *ḱléwos). The Czech variant of the name is Soběslav. A similar name is Mojsław [pl], "my glory". The feminine form is Sobiesława. Notable people with the name include:
