Pierworodny is a term derived from Slavic languages, literally translating to "firstborn" or "eldest." It signifies the first child born to a particular set of parents. This concept carries significant cultural and social weight in many Slavic traditions, often associated with inherited rights, responsibilities, and blessings.
