Radoslava

Radoslava is a feminine given name of Slavic origin. It is formed from the roots rad- meaning "joy" or "happy" and slav- meaning "glory" or "fame," yielding a meaning such as "joyful glory." The name appears across Slavic-speaking regions and has several language-specific variants.

In Czech, Slovak, Bulgarian, Serbian, Croatian, and Polish contexts the feminine form is commonly Radoslava; other spellings include Radoslava or Radislava, and in Polish forms such as Radosława. Diminutives and nicknames include Rada, Radka, and Slava in some communities.

The name belongs to a broader Slavic tradition of combining a favorable root with the suffix -slav, producing names that express blessing or achievement. It is typically given to girls at birth and is used as a first name rather than a surname. Variants and spellings reflect local orthographies and pronunciation patterns, but the underlying meaning and structure are shared across languages.
