Sobiesław
Name list
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
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').[1] Another suggestion is that derived from a Proto-Indo-European name meaning 'wise-famous', cognate with Sophocles (roots *sap and *ḱléwos).[2] The Czech variant of the name is Soběslav. A similar name is Mojsław, "my glory".[3] The feminine form is Sobiesława. Notable people with the name include:
- Sobiesław I, Duke of Pomerania (died 1177 or 1179)
- Sobiesław Zasada (born 1930), Polish rally driver
