Uroš (Serbian Cyrillic: Уpoш) is a Serbian given name. Philologists identify its root with that of a medieval Church Slavonic term, urove (ѹрове), attested only in the plural form. This noun has been interpreted as "lords", because it usually appears in conjunction with velmõžie (велмѫжие) "magnates", as in the phrase велмѫжие и ѹрове "magnates and lords". The noun was probably borrowed from the Hungarian word úr, "master" or "lord". The suffix -oš in uroš is found in a number of Slavic given names, particularly those of the Serbs, Czechs, and Poles.[1][2]
