The name "Peredsava" is the Russian (East Slavic) equivalent of the South Slavic (unvoiced) name "Predslava." This name is associated with a personality who lived before her monastic life, and in monasticism took the name "Euphrosyne." Peredsava Rurikovna was the daughter of Rurik Rostislavich and the first wife of Roman Mstislavich. The name "Peredsava" originated from the name of the village Peredslavino, which was located near ancient Kiev, on the Lybid River. In records from 1373, it is mentioned: "and now there stands the village Peredslavino."
