Slobodan

They’ll never take baby’s freedom with a name like Slobodan! This masculine moniker has Slavic origins, and means “freedom” or “liberty,” from the South Slavic sloboda. As a name, it has an interesting history: in 1869, it was coined by the Serbian liberal politician Vladimir Jovanović. He named his son Slobodan after John Stewart Mill's essay On Liberty, and the name soon rose in popularity, reaching great heights amongst the Slavic countries. Your little freedom fighter is sure to find a wealth of inspiration in their new name, as well as feel a deeply rooted connection to their culture and heritage.
