Vlad is Romanian, Slavic in Origin.
Vlad is a Slavic masculine short form, especially of Vladislav and other compounds beginning with the verbal element volděti, attested in Church Slavic as vladati, to rule or control. The older compound behind Vladislav appears as Old Slavic Voldislavŭ, combining the ruling element with slava, glory; as an independent clipped form, Vlad carries the literal sense rule or rulership rather than the full compound’s glory.
Romanian usage made the short form historically visible through the Wallachian princes named Vlad, above all Vlad III Dracula, fifteenth-century ruler and later source for Bram Stoker’s Count Dracula. In Slavic-speaking areas it remains tied to longer names such as Vladislav and Vladimir, with regional forms including Bulgarian and Serbian Vlado, Croatian Vlatko, Polish Władysław and Władek, Czech Ladislav, Hungarian László, and Ukrainian Vladyslav. In English, Vlad is uncommon and often read through Romanian history and Dracula literature.
