Ladas
LÃDAS
Etymology
Cf. Ladà (see). The origin is unclear. Perhaps from Vlãdas, Vladi̇̀slovas ¹, cf. Brus Ладук, Ладзicь, Ладзiк: Bладислав ², Czech. Ladek, Ladislav: Vladislav ³, bulg. Ладo: Bладo ⁴. But this etymology also raises doubts, because the relationship with Lẽdas (see) and so on is unclear. Cf. still bend popular personal name Łada (SSNO III 306).
