Ladislava is a unique and elegant female given name of Slavic origin. It is derived from the Slavic elements "lady" meaning "woman" and "slav" meaning "glory". Therefore, the name Ladislava translates to "glorious woman".
The name Ladislava has a rich history in Slavic cultures, particularly in Bohemia (now part of the Czech Republic). It was popular among the nobility during the Middle Ages and was often used as a title or rank rather than a given name. However, over time, Ladislava became more widely used as a female given name.
Some notable figures bearing this name include Ladislava Burešová, a Czech tennis player who won several international tournaments in the 1920s, and Ladislava Švubová, a Czech actress known for her roles in both theater and film throughout the mid-20th century.
The statistics regarding the name Ladislava show a pattern of relative stability over the four years from 1920 to 1924 in the United States. During this period, there were a total of 23 births registered with this name.
Interestingly, there was a spike in popularity for Ladislava in 1923, with 8 babies being given this name that year alone. This is significantly higher than the other years recorded, which all had 5 births each (in 1920 and 1922).
Despite the peak in 1923, the overall number of births remains relatively low and steady throughout these four years. This suggests that Ladislava was not a particularly common name during this period but maintained a consistent presence nonetheless.
It is also worth noting that while there may have been fluctuations in popularity from year to year, the total number of children named Ladislava over these four years combined (23) indicates that this was still a recognizable and occasionally chosen name for newborns at the time.
