Name Meaning and Origin

The name Vladimir is the first time for the Bulgarian ruler Vladimir Rassate ( ( Bulg Владимир Расате ) (c. 850; † after 893 ) ), the eldest son of Boris I. Michael, historically occupied; altruss. Volodiměr " ( Володимѣръ ) kirchenslaw vladimer. " ( Владимѣръ ); the first part refers to the kirchenslaw. vlad ' ( владь, power or domination) and the second part is related to Gothic -Mers (large) and OHG mari ( famous). Therefore Vladimir means " great in his power." The ending- me ( миръ ) came under the influence of me ( мир - world, community, peace ) to popular etymology. Therefore, the interpretation stirred as a "peace ruler ", " ruler of the world " and the like. Both syllables are common components of two-part Slavic name and can be found as well in other names such as Vladislav or Jaromir, Dragomir, Kazimir, Velimir, Lubomir, Vlastimir, Radomir, inter alia, in Church Slavonic Vladimir was often used as a Slavic name for Jerusalem. Whether the existing in the Germanic languages ​​name Waldemar ( " big and famous ruler " ) with Vladimir is congruent, is controversial. A correspondence is rather the relatively rare German first name Herfried. Part of onomastics suspected of having a Slavic name Vladimir Germanic origin; other cause both forms of the name back to a common Indo-European root.

Origin of the dispute over the link " Waldemar-Wladimer/Wladimir " also lies in the fact that at the time of the creation of the Kiev Empire, all members of the princely union Clans " Rürikovići " ( Rurik ) were wearing North Germanic names that were later slavicized. Thus, from Ingwar Igor later, Helgi and Helga emerged Oleg and Olga, Sviatoslav emerged from Swendoslev ec Also poorly understood is the possible Turkish- Khazar influence on transition from Church Slavonic - he ( - ѣръ ) to volkischen -ir, - me - dimir the name Vladimir.
