Jaroslav is a Czech and Slovak masculine given name. It is composed of the Slavic elements jar meaning "strong, fierce" and slav meaning "glory, fame".[1][2]

There are several possible origins of the name Jaroslav. It is very likely that originally the two elements of the name referred to Jarilo \- male Proto-Slavic deity of the sun, spring, and fertility, and slav meaning glory, i.e. "glory of the sun".[citation needed]

The feminine form of the name is Jaroslava.

Jaroslav is equivalent to the Polish name Jarosław and the Ukrainian and Russian name Yaroslav.
