Comments for VADIM:
Very old Slavic name meaning "driven by something".-- olga 1/13/2006
Vadim is a unique name, NOT a truncation of Vladimir. Vadim comes from the Slavic vedet. It still exists in Czech, Polish but it is mainly popular in Russia.
(Slavic meaning) "A powerful ruler" and in addition "the knowing one"
(Greek meaning) "deceiving and unpredictable"-- Anonymous User 6/16/2006
Not a form of Vladimir. It actually means "driven" (archaic).-- shiroi 7/27/2006
Pronounced vah-DEEM.-- Lisie 10/19/2006
Commonly shortened to Vadik. [noted -ed]-- Lisie 10/19/2006
This name isn't so popular these days. I don't know many Vadims. My father's name is Vadim but everyone calls him Vadik. This is a nice and easy name but for some reason a lot of people mispronounce it.-- Anonymous User 11/7/2007
A famous bearer of the name is former Laskovyj Maj soloist Andrej Razin, whose real name is Vadim Krivorotov.

A Czech handbook on names, by Miroslava Knappová, claims it could mean "maligned". But I guess it's not a source of much significance, when it itself says it's "possibly".-- HanaB 3/9/2010
The core root of this name means to "attract" and "possess" in old-Russian ("vad"it'). So the bearer of this name is essentially someone who attracts people and is loved by them or just a popular person-magnet.-- vadler 6/12/2011
