Ladislao is a male given name of Hungarian origin, derived from the historical personal name Ladislaus. It is composed of two elements: 'hlada' meaning 'people', and 'slawu' meaning 'glory'. Therefore, the name Ladislao can be translated to mean "leader of glory" or "famous leader". It was borne by several kings of Hungary throughout history, notably Saint Ladislaus I, who ruled in the 11th century. The name gained popularity beyond Hungary due to his influence and is now used in various forms across different cultures, including Ladislas, László, and Ladislao.
