Stanislaus Family History

Stanislaus Name Meaning

German Sri Lankan Indian (southern states) and West Indian: from a Latinized form of the Slavic personal name Stanislav which spread all over the world as a name of a Polish saint. — Note: Since South Indians traditionally do not have hereditary surnames the southern Indian name was in most cases registered as such only after immigration of its bearers to the US. Americanized form of Slovak and Czech Stanislav and also a shortened (and altered) form of Lithuanian Stanislauskas or some other surnames (see Stanislawski ) derived from the same personal name.
