Origin

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 means 'to own', Polish władać , Russian vladet ), or 'to rule' (another meaning of Polish władać is 'to rule'. Ukrainian vlada means 'power', 'the government'; in Slovak and Czech, vláda means ruling body, government in modern form, vládnuť (vládnout) means 'to rule', vládca is 'ruler'), and slav-, meaning 'fame'/'glory'. It has also extended into Romania and Moldova, which are non-Slavic countries.
