Etymology
Stanislavsky comes from a Slavic personal name Stanislav and the ending -sky. The name Stanislav includes the root slav from slava meaning 'glory', and -sky means 'from' or 'belonging to', so it once meant 'of Stanislav' or 'from the family of someone named Stanislav'. That's why Stanislavsky is the family name of the famous Russian actor, and his name now stands for the acting method he created.
