Detailed Slovak etymology analysis

Slovenská podoba ruského mena Любовь, ktoré znamená „láska“. Základ ľub- súvisí so slovenským slovesom ľúbiť. Do ruštiny sa meno dostalo zo staroslovienčiny ako významový preklad gréckeho kresťanského mena; jeho slovný základ je slovanský.

Sources and scholarly methodology: Slovenskú podobu a nesklonnosť dokladá Slovník slovenského jazyka VI, s. 140. Slovanský pôvod, významový preklad a ruské domácke podoby uvádza Slovník ruských osobných mien N. A. Petrovského, heslo Любовь. Domácke tvary predstavujú možnosti oslovenia, nie overený rebríček obľúbenosti; Ľubuša zodpovedá ruskej podobe Любуша. Medzinárodné podoby sú prepisy mena, nie samostatné domáce ekvivalenty. Konkrétne heslo v publikácii Milana Majtána nebolo priamo overené.
