Ribar

The name Ribar is derived directly from the Slavic word 'ribar' (рибар) which means 'fisherman'. This type of occupational surname or given name is common across many cultures, reflecting a person's trade or profession. In Slavic cultures, names derived from occupations often became hereditary surnames, but could also be used as given names, particularly in earlier periods or in more rural settings.

While not widely used as a first name in modern times, its meaning is clear and directly ties to a traditional and respected profession. It would likely have been used to denote someone who was a fisherman or came from a family of fishermen.
