Origin and meaning of Vladimir
Vladimir is a Slavic name combining vlad ('lord, ruler') and mir ('world' or 'peace'): 'lord of the world' or 'lord of peace'. Present in Romania especially in border regions with Slavic influence, such as historic Moldavia and Banat, it evokes medieval Eastern European princes and rulers. Romanian parents choose it for its strong, regal character, standing apart from the country's more common Latin names.
