Stanisław

This name derives from the Slavic name “Stanisláv ‎(Станисла́в),” composed of two elements: “*stàti / státi ‎(ста́ти)” (to stand, to become) plus “sláva ‎(сла́ва)” (glory, fame, renown, honor, repute, reputation). In turn, the name means “glory and fame, enduring glory, someone who achieves glory or fame.” It is most often given in the Slavic countries of Central and South-Eastern Europe. The name has spread to many non-Slavic languages. 1) Stanisław Szczepanowski, (1030–1079) was a Bishop of Kraków known chiefly for having been martyred by the Polish king Bolesław II the Bold. 2) Saint Stanislaus Papczyński (1631–1701), born Jan Papczyński, was a Polish Roman Catholic priest who once served as a member of the Piarist Order. 3) Stanisława Rodzińska (1899–1945), was a Polish religious of the Congregation of the Sisters of St. Dominic.
