Untitled

The name also exists in greek, as "Vladimiros". Most people with this name are greeks form ex-USSR

why is there not a notable Slavic Vladimirs section?

It could be pared down to the most famous - but to have a special section on non-Slavic Vladimirs seems silly without a more extensive list of Slavic ones.LeValley 02:39, 28 February 2011 (UTC)

Lenin

Could a better picture of Lenin be used? eg not one where he is disguised 81.132.8.235 (talk) 14:33, 16 June 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Valdemar

Didn't this name actually originate from Norse "Valdemar"? With the Norse princes of Rus that were so named? -- Director (talk) 19:50, 5 December 2012 (UTC)[reply]

From what I've read it's disputed whether one comes from the other or both come from a common Indo-Germanic root. 87.132.169.180 (talk) 08:57, 21 February 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Yes. This is a Germanic name. Not Slavic.Rosengarten Zu Worms (talk) 22:10, 19 March 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Stress

It should be added to the article that the stress in "Vladimir" is on "di". Most people don't know about this and say it incorrectly.--2.245.177.187 (talk) 13:05, 9 February 2014 (UTC)[reply]

That's true for Russian; but it's "VLAD-i-mir" in Czech.

Vlad the Impaler???

His name wasn't Vladimir, but Vladislav. The linked entry on Vlad the Impaler states this. Czarnibog (talk) 21:14, 10 April 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Minor reservation

I am slightly uncomfortable with this part: «...but the (unetymological) spelling -миръ or -міръ predates the orthographic reform, indicating the folk etymological interpretation of the name as "world owner" or "peace owner"». I would like to ask if this is sourced properly. Because it looks (externally) like a far-reaching conjecture. EDIT: to clarify, I have problems with the compound reading of the name (world owner or peace owner). The etymological dictionary states that the first part of the name means this and the last part came (due to folk confusion) to mean that. But this does NOT imply that it ended up as a constructed phrase. I have asbolutely no doubt that people, then or later, would decipher the name as such, in their spare time. But the text of the article makes a jump that seems to contradict usual linguistic logic, and is unsubstantiated by the source.

Celtic suffix

-mar meaning great is a variant of the Celtic mor, meaning that. It's common to both Hispanic and Germanic threads of the language, meaning it predates the break in the tribe c1500BCE, in the Sinai area. That in turn points to an Indus origin. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 5.68.80.209 (talk) 14:41, 7 March 2022 (UTC)[reply]
