      The name Wladyslawa is of Polish origin, combining elements that signify glory and ruler. Specifically, it is derived from the Slavic roots Władysław, which translates to to rule with glory or glorious ruler.

As with many Slavic names, Wladyslawa is rich in meanings and carries with it a sense of power and achievement.

It gained prominence during the medieval period, particularly among the royal families and nobility. One of the earliest recorded figures bearing this name was Wladyslawa, a daughter of a Polish king. The name has also been linked to various queens and noblewomen throughout Polish history, who played vital roles in the sociopolitical landscape of their times.
