Meaning & Origin
government
Vlada is a girl's baby name of Slavic origin, a short form of names like Vladislava, from the Old Slavic elements vladeti (to rule) and slava (glory), meaning 'glorious ruler.' Vlada is used across Russia, Serbia, Croatia, and Bulgaria as an independent feminine name.
Vlada has a strong, striking sound that carries the authority of its Slavic meaning. It suits parents of Eastern European heritage or those drawn to names with a bold, commanding character and a distinctly continental feel.
