Stanislavs is in Origin.

Stanislavs is the Latvian masculine form of the pan‑Slavic name Stanislav, from the Proto‑Slavic elements stan- “to become, stand” and slav- “glory, fame,” yielding meanings such as “to become glorious” or “one who achieves renown.” In Latvian orthography it is often written Staņislavs, reflecting the palatalized n. The name entered Latvian usage through centuries of contact with neighboring Slavic cultures and the Polish–Lithuanian Commonwealth.

Use of the name across Central and Eastern Europe was anchored by the cult of Saint Stanislaus of Kraków (11th century) and later reinforced by Polish kings named Stanisław, which spread its prestige beyond Poland. Common international variants include Stanisław (Polish), Stanislav (Czech, Slovak, Russian, South Slavic), Stanislaus (Latin, German), Stanislovas (Lithuanian), Szaniszló (Hungarian), and Belarusian Stanislaŭ. Diminutives and nicknames vary by language: Stas, Staś, Staszek, Standa, Slava, and in Latvian colloquial use sometimes Staņis.
