What is the meaning of the name Stanislav ?

The baby name Stanislav is a boy name , 3 syllables long and is pronounced STAH-nee-slahv.

Stanislav is Slavic in Origin.

Stanislav is a Slavic dithematic masculine name, reconstructable in Common Slavic as *Stanislavъ. Its first element is the imperative stem stani, from *stati, to stand, arise, or become; the second is *slava, glory, fame. As a name-forming compound it carries the literal sense become glorious or let him attain fame, rather than a simple noun phrase.

Medieval Latin records commonly render the name as Stanislaus, especially in connection with Saint Stanislaus of Szczepanów, the 11th-century bishop and martyr who helped anchor the Polish form Stanisław. Stanislav remains familiar across Czech, Slovak, South Slavic, Russian, Ukrainian, and Bulgarian usage, with forms such as French Stanislas, Italian Stanislao, Spanish Estanislao, Lithuanian Stanislovas, and Hungarian Szaniszló. In English-speaking countries it is uncommon and sometimes shortened to Stan, though Stanley is etymologically unrelated.
