Detailed Slovak etymology analysis

Juhoslovanská, najmä chorvátska podoba slovanského zloženého mena príbuzného menu Václav. Prvá časť mena vychádza z praslovanského základu *vętьje vo význame „viac, väčší“, druhá zo základu *slava „sláva“. Meno sa preto vykladá ako „väčšia sláva“ alebo „slávnejší“; spájanie prvej časti so slovom veniec je ľudová etymológia.
