Meaning:*
This name derives from the Old Slavic name “Rastislav,” composed of two elements: From the Proto-Baltic “*rad-ti > *rasti” (Serbian: rȃsti “ра̑сти”), meaning “to grow, high, to increase, to raise” plus the Slavic “sláva ‎(сла́ва),” meaning “glory, fame, renown, honor, repute, reputation.” The name means “one who increases his glory.” Rastislav or Rostislav, also known as St. Rastislav (Latin: Rastiz, Greek: Rasisthlabos), was the second known ruler of Moravia (846–870). Although he started his reign as a vassal to Louis the German, king of East Francia, he consolidated his rule to the extent that after 855, he was able to repel a series of Frankish attacks. According to the Czech calendar, the feast day is celebrated on April 19, Slovakia, on January 13.
