Laszlo
Meaning of Laszlo
Laszlo is a distinctive and strong male name with deep roots in Hungarian culture. Pronounced as LAHS-loh, Laszlo is a variation of the Hungarian name László, which itself is derived from the Slavic name Vladislav, meaning "glorious ruler." The name has historical significance, being borne by several Hungarian kings and saints, most notably Saint Ladislaus I of Hungary. Though not extremely common in the United States, Laszlo has seen sporadic use over the decades, maintaining a unique charm that appeals to parents seeking a name with both cultural depth and regal connotations.
