Slava is Russian (and I guess other cyrillic languages) means Glory.

BTW, what do you mean that many names have ov as the end of it? Do you mean first names? I could not find any name which would end on "OV".

Last names, though, would often have OV at the end (or OFF in English version, like Sokoloff, Petroff)

>In England "Biro" is the generic word for a ball-point pen (because of the trade mark "Biro"). So "Slave of the ball-point pen"? BTW why do so many names have "slav" and "ov" at the end? I presumed "ov" was like "son of" or "of the family of". But "Slave of Boris of Boris's family"? "Mc" in my name means "of the clan of" (I think).
