Václav (Wenzel, Wenceslaus, etc.) around the world

[Smaug]

Portuguese - Wençeslaõ

Wrong

It seems that the name appears among Moldovans

Maybe in republic of moldova? I have no idea tbh. Never hear such name in my life. Anyway we don’t have slavic names here...like typically slavic names

Stanislas is perhaps one the most frequent Slavic name in non-Slavic nations?

Maybe in other euro countries but in France at least I only have met one and he had no slavic ancestry at all but his parents were fond of slavic / russian names All their three children got slavic names. Ivan though has been very used as a name in France but written as "Yvan"

Yep but when it comes about Nobility and Royalty specially you know they are all Euro cousins The last Tsar of Russia was from German ancestry, the current Swedish royal family is from French ancestry partly etc. Even the GB royal family is from German ancestry actually. They are all related to another Euro country.

I wrote it, because I remember that Louis de Funès played a character named as Stanislas Lefort, in one of his movies:
La grande vadrouille (1966)

Nice. Good thread. I learned something. I didnt know this before.

I am curious whether exists also some French, Romanian, Hungarian, Portuguese, Serbian, etc. holders of the name?
Or are the national language variants of his name used just for a name of the saint (and another historical Czech rulers)?

In English, Wenceslaus is just for saints and kings. English-speaking parents do not name their children this.
