Meanings

Waldemar is an Old High German given name. It consists of the elements wald- "to rule" and -mar "fame" (thus "famous ruler"). The forms Valdemar and Waldomar and are recorded in the late 7th and early 8th century, respectively. It is the equivalent of the Slavic name Vladimir (Old East Slavic Володимѣръ Volodiměrŭ, Old Bulgarian Владимѣръ Vladiměrŭ), which is on record in the late 9th century (Vladimir-Rasate).
The Old Norse form Valdamarr (also Valdarr) occurs in the Guðrúnarkviða II as the name of a king of the Danes. The Old Norse form is also used in Heimskringla, in the story of Harald Hardrada, as the name of a ruler of Holmgard (Veliky Novgorod), in this case as a translation of the Slavic name Volodimer. The Fagrskinna kings' sagas also have Valdamarr as the translation of Slavic Volodimer/Vladimir, in reference to both Vladimir the Great and Vladimir Yaroslavovich. The German form was introduced to Scandinavia as Valdemar in the 12th century, with king Valdemar I of Denmark.

Scandinavian form of Waldemar: combine of vladeti (rule) and meru (great, famous).
