Volodymyr is a Ukrainian male given name.
The name is a direct descendant from the Old East Slavic Володимир (Volodimir), which is spelled identically in Cyrillic, but transliterated differently because of changes in the Ukrainian alphabet since medieval times. The meaning of the name is "possessor of the world, peace". Volodia (Володя), Vova (Вова) are short versions of this name. The same Slavic sources also produced the Russian and Serbian variant Vladimir, as well as the Danish Valdemar and the German Waldemar.
Volodymyr (secular name Vasyl Omelianovych Romaniuk, ; December 10, 1925, Khymchyn – July 14, 1995, Kiev) was the Patriarch of the Ukrainian Orthodox Church - Kyiv Patriarchate. Initially consecrated as a bishop of the Ukrainian Autocephalous Orthodox Church by bishop Ioan in 1990, Volodymyr became one of the founders of the united Ukrainian Orthodox Church in June 1992.
