What is the meaning of the name Laszlo ?

Laszlo is Hungarian in Origin.

Laszlo is the anglicized form of Hungarian László, from medieval Latin Ladislaus, itself a rendering of the Slavic Vladislav/Ladislav. The Slavic roots vlad (“to rule”) and slava (“glory, fame”) give the meaning “glorious ruler” or “he who rules with glory.” The acute accents in László mark long vowels; in English contexts they are often omitted.

Prominent since the 11th century through Saint King László I of Hungary, the name stayed widely used in Hungary and among the diaspora. Notable bearers include artist László Moholy‑Nagy, inventor László Bíró, and novelist László Krasznahorkai. Variants and cognates include Laszlo/Lazlo (English), László (Hungarian standard), Ladislaus (Latin), Ladislao (Spanish/Italian), Ladislav (Czech/Slovak), Władysław (Polish), and Vladislav (Russian, Serbian, Bulgarian and other Slavic languages). Hungarian diminutives such as Laci and Lacika are common.
