I think Vladislav is a nice Slavic name. It sounds very masculine—strong and powerful. I’m not sure it is really usable here in the USA unless you wish to honor your Russian or Ukrainian roots. I’m not crazy about the diminutive Vlad but Slava is ok.

It's my name! 99.9% of the time people shorten it to Vlad (or Vladik if they're trying to make it sound sweet and extra casual), since it's too formal to use the full form.
I'm personally not too big of a fan. The way it rolls off the tongue just feels a little off to me, I don't think I can describe it reasonably. Especially the way it sounds when you say it with an English accent, but in any other way I heard it, it sounds alright.
Opinions of other people I asked differ quite a lot, ranging from "every person who goes by this is probably really dumb" to "this name is amazing and I like saying it". All in all, it's not very rare, so most people just consider it "nothing special".
P.S. There I talked about my own experience with the name, including my own opinion. This is most definitely not the only way people feel about this name.

I think this is my favourite male Slavic name. It sounds very good. I really wonder why it isn't used more often here in the Czech Republic. VLADIMÍR is more common, which I really don't like that much. Maybe people like its meaning more. But Vladislav really has great sound, it's almost like poetry!

Vladislav is a Slovak and generally Slavic name. Vladislav is derived from Slovak word Vlada (the government, the ruler, the keeper) and slava (glory, celebration). Meaning of the name could be both "to rule with glory" or "glory of rule", for example Miroslav could mean "glory of universe/peace" only, Vlastislav could mean "the glory/celebration of the homeland" only, Branislav could mean both "to defense with glory" or "glory/celebration of defense", Rastislav could mean both "to grow with glory" or "glory of growth", etc. The Poles would like to make the origin of the name Polish as according to them God is Polish as well, but the truth is that the name is widely spread in all Slavic countries and has been born by common people, not just the kings.

You're right! I completely forgot about it when I wrote that comment above, but there were at least two Czech princes of that name before Vladislav Jagellonsky. So it obviously hasn't come from Poland, or at least not so straightforwardly. :-)

More about the Czech princes: actually, one of them, Vladislav II, was the second Czech prince to become king. He was helping German emperor Friedrich I. Barbarossa in his wars in Northern Italy, and that's what he earned his kingship in 1158 for.

Apart from the four Polish kings mentioned under the entry W£ADYS£AW, there was also one Czech (and later also Hungarian) king of that name, who came from Poland; so it's likely to believe he brought this name to Czech country.

Another form of this name is the Romanian 'Vladislaus'. The name literally translated means 'prince of glory', or 'he shall rule with glory'.

If you don't already know about the house of Barsaba, then you at least know about two famous members; Vlad Dracul and Vladislaus Draculea. Despite popular belief Romanian persons I have met (as well as historians) declare that Dracul was evil, Draculea was not. In fact Prince Vladislaus was considered quite noble although strict. Crime was low and economy was high during his short reign.

This is a cool name for a Slavic man. It has a good ring to it.
