Stanislav (given name)

Stanislav or Stanislaus (Latinized form) is a very old given name of Slavic origin, meaning someone who achieves glory or fame. It is common in the Slavic countries of Central and South Eastern Europe. The name has spread to many non-Slavic languages as well, such as French (Stanislas), German, and others.

The feminine form is Stanislava.

The English name Stanley is popularly regarded as--and often thought to be--the Anglicized form.^{[citation needed]} But this is historically and linguistically inaccurate; the two names have entirely different origins and meanings.
