1. Cyrillic spelling of Vladimir

• IPA^(key): [ˈvɫadimir]

Владимир • (Vladimir) m

1. a male given name, equivalent to English Vladimir

• Влади́міръ (Vladímir) — Pre-reform orthography (1918)

Borrowed from Old Church Slavonic Владимѣръ (Vladiměrŭ), from Proto-Slavic *Voldiměrъ (where further etymology is listed). By surface analysis, влад(еть) (vlad(etʹ), “to master, to possess”) +‎ мир (mir, “peace”), with the second component changed by folk etymology from Old Church Slavonic мѣръ (měrŭ, “great”).
