Mieszko
Mieszko is a Slavic given name of uncertain origin. Onomastics There are three major theories concerning the origin and meaning of the name of Duke Mieszko I of Poland. The most popular theory, proposed by Jan Długosz, explains that Mieszko is a diminutive of ''Mieczysław'', a combination of two elements or lexemes: ''Miecz'' meaning sword and ''Sław'' meaning famous. Today, this theory is rejected by the majority of Polish historians, who consider the name Mieczysław to have been invented by Długosz to explain the origin of the name Mieszko. It is known today that ancient Slavs never formed their names using either animal names or weapon names. Ancient Slavic names were abstract in nature. The same explanation rules out another theory about the origin of the name Mieszko, which links the name with the Polish word ''miś'' or ''miśko'' meaning bear, as no animal names were used to form honorable Polish names among Polish nobility.Włodzimierz K.
