Laszlo origin and meaning

Hungarian, from Slavic Vladislav

The Hungarian form of a Slavic name, Vladislav — vlad, 'rule', and slav, 'glory'

László is one of Hungary's defining names, borne by kings and saints, and Laszlo is its unaccented American spelling. In the US data since 1958 it has always belonged mainly to Hungarian-American families, peaking in 1961. Hungary's famous Lászlós — Moholy-Nagy among them — carry the accented spelling, which under our spelling discipline does not transfer to this profile, so it ships bearer-empty.
