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".
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".
