- Gladys Meaning
- From the old Welsh name Gwladus, possibly derived from gwlad "country". It has historically been used as a Welsh form of Claudia. This name became popular outside of Wales after it was used in Ouida's novel 'Puck' (1870). Gladys originates in Welsh language and means "woman of the land". Some sources also suggest the meaning "princess". Formerly, it was used as a Welsh form of Claudia. Until today, Gladys is a fairly popular feminine given name not only in the United States, but also in other English-speaking countries.
