What is the meaning of the name Lado ?

The baby name Lado is a boy name , 2 syllables long and is pronounced LAH-do.

Lado is Georgian in Origin.

Lado is a Georgian masculine hypocorism of Vladimer, the Georgian form of Slavic Vladimir. Its earliest recoverable source is Old Slavic Voldiměrŭ, a dithematic compound: volděti, meaning to rule, plus měrŭ, great or famous; later folk etymology also connected the second element with mirŭ, peace or world. The literal sense is therefore famous ruler or, by that secondary reading, peace/world ruler.

As a short form, Lado is especially associated with Georgia, where ლადო appears as an everyday name as well as a familiar form; bearers include painter Lado Gudiashvili and poet Lado Asatiani. Cognate forms include Vladimir, Vladimer, Vladimír, Volodymyr, Włodzimierz, Vlado, Volodya, and Vova. The Spanish noun lado, from Latin latus, means side, but it is a homograph rather than the source of the given name.
