Wladyslawa

Wladyslawa is a Polish name of Slavic origin, derived from the Old Polish word "władysław," which means "ruler's glory" or "glory of the ruler." The name gained popularity in the Middle Ages, particularly during the reign of King Władysław II Jagiełło, who was known for his diplomatic and military achievements. The name has been used for both males and females, but it is more commonly associated with women. In modern times, Wladyslawa is still used as a given name in Poland and other countries with Polish heritage. The name has also been used in literature and art, with notable examples including the character Wladyslawa in the novel "Quo Vadis" by Henryk Sienkiewicz. Despite its historical significance, Wladyslawa remains a relatively uncommon name in contemporary usage.
