Name «Khranyslava»

The name Khranyslava is rarely used or considered outdated, and it can be found in modern Ukrainian dictionaries. Although some sources categorize it among names starting with the letter "G," in reality, Khranyslava, like similar names Khranymyr and Khranyvo, has South Slavic origins. This name originates from the masculine name Khranyslav, which consists of the verbal root "khranyty" (meaning "to guard, to protect") and the nominal root "slava," which means "glory." The variant "Khrana" is recorded in Serbian sources from the 12th century, while "Khranya" has been documented since the 14th century. Thus, the name Khranyslava has deep historical roots and a meaning associated with preserving peace.
