Proper noun
Владимир • (Vladimir) m

Etymology
Borrowed from Old Church Slavonic Владимѣръ (Vladiměrŭ), from Proto-Slavic *Voldiměrъ (where further etymology is listed). Synchronically analyzable as Old Church Slavonic владь (vladĭ, “power”) (which is from Proto-Indo-European *wal (“be strong”)) + мѣръ (měrŭ, “great”), changed by folk etymology into миръ (mirŭ, “peace”). Compare the inherited Old East Slavic Володимѣръ (Volodiměrŭ).
Pronunciation
