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

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.
