Vsevolod

Vsevolod or Wsewolod (Всеволод) is a Slavic (particularly, Ukrainian and Russian) male first name. Its etymology is from Slavic roots 'vse' (all) and 'volodeti' (to rule) and means 'lord-of-everything/everybody', (similar to another princely name, "Vladimir" or "Volodymyr"). It is equivalent to the Belarusian Usevalad, Lithuanian Visvaldas, Latvian Visvaldis and German Wissewald. And "Swedish?" Valdemar.

The corresponding patronymic is Vsevolodovich.
