Sobiesław, Soběslav or Sebeslav (Proto-Slavic: *Sobęslavь, Polish: Sobiesław, Czech: Soběslav, Slovene: Sebeslav, Church Slavonic: Собѧславь, romanized: Sobęslavǐ) is a very old Slavic given name, mostly common among the West Slavs. Because of folk etymology, it is popularly supposed to derive from sobie ("usurp, for me, myself") and sław ("glory, prestige"); however, it is actually derived from a Proto-Indo-European name meaning "wise-famous", cognate with Sophocles (roots *sap and *ḱléwos). The feminine form is Sobiesława, Soběslava, or Собѧслава (Sobęslava).
