Владимир

Russian

Borrowed from Old Church Slavonic Владимѣръ (Vladiměrŭ), from Proto-Slavic *Voldiměrъ (which see for more), equivalent to Old Church Slavonic владь (vladĭ, “power”) (which is from Proto-Indo-European *wal (“be strong”)) + мѣръ (měrŭ, “great”), changed by folk etymology into миръ (mirŭ, “peace”). Compare the inherited Old East Slavic Володимѣръ (Volodiměrŭ).
