Bronislava is of Slavic origin, specifically from Poland and Russia. It is a feminine given name derived from the masculine name Bronisław. The name Bronisław is composed of two elements: 'brąz' meaning 'brown' and 'sława' meaning 'glory'. Therefore, Bronislava translates to "glorious brown" or "glorious fame". This name was likely chosen for its strong and noble sound, reflecting the culture's admiration for valor and dignity. It is relatively rare and may be considered unique in many English-speaking countries.
The name Bronislava had six babies born with it in 1918, making up all of its total births recorded.
