Detailed Slovak etymology analysis

Staré slovanské dvojčlenné meno. Prvá časť rati- súvisí s praslovanským *ratь „vojna, boj“, druhá časť -bor so slovesom *borti sę „boriť sa, bojovať“. Význam možno voľne vystihnúť ako „bojovník“ alebo „ten, kto bojuje“.

Konkrétne heslo v publikácii Milana Majtána ani v zdrojoch JÚĽŠ SAV sa nepodarilo priamo overiť, preto im tento profil nepripisujem. Slovenské pádové tvary sú odvodené podľa vzoru chlap.
