Additional information about the name Gladys:
Gladys is a Welsh girls name of uncertain origin. It comes from the Old Welsh name "Gwladus", itself which probably derives from "Gwlad" meaning "Country; nation". However, there are suggestions that it could stem from "Gwledig" meaning "ruler", or even that it might be a Welsh version of Claudia. The name Gladys was popular in the early 1900s but has since faded into obscurity for new borns.
