Vsevolod

Vsevolod or Wsewolod (Template:Lang-ru [ˈfsʲevələt]; Template:Lang-uk [ˈu̯sɛwolod]) is a Slavic male first name. Its etymology is from Slavic roots 'vse' (all) and 'volodeti' (to rule) and means 'lord-of-everything/everybody', (similar to another princely name, "Vladimir" or "Volodymyr"). It is equivalent to the Belarusian Usievalad, Polish Wszewład, Lithuanian Visvaldas, Latvian Visvaldis and German Wissewald. The corresponding Russian patronymic is Vsevolodovich.
