Waldemar

Borrowed from German Waldemar in the 19th century. Compare Vladimir, from Slavic, and the Scandinavian name Valdemar.

Waldemar

1. (rare) A male given name.
   • 1819, Walter Scott, Ivanhoe, Chapter 9:

     If, as a stranger in our land, you should require the aid of other judgment to guide your own, we can only say that Alicia, the daughter of our gallant knight Waldemar Fitzurse, has at our court been long held the first in beauty as in place.

• Vladimir

From a Old High German compound name, from the elements waltan (“rule, govern”) + māri (“famous, great”).[1] Merged with Scandinavian Valdemar, apparently from the semantically and formally similar Slavic name Vladimir, which is sometimes considered to also derive from the same pre-Old High German name *waldimӕ̄r-.[1]
