Meaning & History
The first element of this name is derived from Polish darzyć "to bestow, to grant, to endow", which is ultimately derived from Slavic dar "gift, present" (which in turn is derived from Proto-Slavic darъ "gift, present"). Compare modern Polish darować "to donate, to gift" and Czech darovat "to donate, to give", as well as Proto-Slavic dati "to give". The second element of this name is derived from Slavic slav "glory". As such, this name roughly means "to bestow glory", making it more or less a cognate of Darosław.
