What Does Vladimir Mean?

Rus' matters. · Nearly Ten Years Ago I Was Probably Wrong About Fatima · What Does Vladimir Mean?

On the German Quora, I found this:

Stammt der russische Name Wladimir, wie in Wladimir Putin, von dem deutschen Namen Waldemar oder ist es ein slawischer Name?
https://de.quora.com/Stammt-der-russische-Name-Wladimir-wie-in-Wladimir-Putin-von-dem-deutschen-Namen-Waldemar-oder-ist-es-ein-slawischer-Name/answer/Stefan-Speck-1

Stefan Speck knows Russian.

So, Old East Slavic Володимѣръ and Old Church Slavonic Владимѣръ (pronounced respectively Volodiměrъ and Vladiměrъ) mean "rule-famous" or "might-famous". The newer and changed Slavonic version Владимир / Vladimir basically means "rule the world!" ...

Now a question or two or three.

• Does that sound like sth mentioned in the Bible? King Solomon was famous by his rule and someone else will (briefly, 3 and a 1/2 years plus possibly non-persecuting prequel) rule all nations (Apocalypse 13:7).
• Does ruling the world sound like sth that "Vladimir I" / "Vladimir A" / Lenin came close to achieving?
• Does ruling the world sound like sth that "Vladimir II" / "Vladimir B" could come to achieve, if the incompetence of those mainly opposing him* takes its toll?

Herzlichen Dank, Herr Speck!

Meawhile, trying to oppose Putin by promoting abortion or homoliberalism is idiotic. God will not be mocked. God will also not allow a persecutor into power, unless he's punishing someone else. Right now, he's not posing as a persecutor of Christians, but I don't think he's a Christian, or his Christian if at all faith is compromised, and that could one day very easily lead to tensions with actual Catholic Christians.

* A competent opposition to Putin would have been one taking Vysehrad countries and especially Lech Kaczyński as the moral lead.
