Vladislav[1] (Belarusian: Уладзіслаў (Uladzislaŭ, Uładzisłaŭ); Polish: Władysław, Włodzisław; Russian, Ukrainian, Bulgarian, Macedonian, Serbo-Croatian Cyrillic: Владислав, Latin: Ladislaus)[1] is a male given name of Slavic origin. Variations include Volodislav, Vlastislav and Vlaslav. In the Czech Republic, Slovakia and Croatia, the common variation is Ladislav.
Outside of Slavic and Eastern Romance countries, it is sometimes latinized as either Vladislaus or Vladislas. Spanish forms include Ladislao and Uladislao. The Portuguese and Romanian forms are Ladislau. The Hungarian form is László.
In Russian-speaking countries, it is usually colloquially shortened to either Vlad (Влад) or Vladik (Владик).
The feminine form of the name Vladislav is Vladislava or, in Polish spelling, Władysława.
Origin
[edit]The name Vladislav literally means 'one who owns a glory', or simply 'famous'. It is a composite name derived from two Slavic roots: Vlad-, meaning either 'to own' (Ukrainian volodity [володiти] means 'to own', Polish władać ['to possess'], Russian vladet [владеть 'to own']), or 'to rule' (another meaning of Polish władać is 'to rule'. Ukrainian vlada [влада] means 'power', 'the government'; in Slovak and Czech, vláda means ruling body, government in modern form, vládnuť (vládnout) means 'to rule', vládca [vládce] is 'ruler'), and slav-, meaning 'fame'/'glory'. It has also extended into Romania and Moldova, which are non-Slavic countries.
