Iwona

Iwona is the Polish feminine form of Yvonne, ultimately derived from the Old French and Germanic "Ivo" from "iv" meaning "yew tree" — the yew being prized in medieval Europe for its wood used in longbows. The name entered Poland via French influence and was particularly fashionable in the mid-20th century. Witold Gombrowicz's absurdist play "Iwona, Princess of Burgundia" (1938) gave the name a distinctive place in Polish theatrical tradition.

Dominika

Dominika is the feminine form of Dominik, derived from the Latin Dominicus meaning "belonging to the Lord" or "of the Master." It is widely used across Polish, Czech, Slovak, and other Slavic cultures, where it carries strong Catholic resonance tied to Saint Dominic, founder of the Dominican Order.

Dominik

Dominik is the Slavic form of Dominic, derived from the Late Latin Dominicus meaning "belonging to the Lord" or "of the Master," from dominus (lord, master).

Jeremi

Jeremi is a Polish masculine name, a form of Jeremy/Jeremiah, derived from the Hebrew Yirmeyahu meaning "God will exalt" or "appointed by God."

Filip

It is used as a masculine given name in Polish, Czech, Slovak, Serbian, Croatian, Bulgarian, and other Slavic languages. In the New Testament, Philip was one of the twelve apostles, giving the name strong Catholic resonance in Slavic cultures.

Kornelia

Kornelia is the Polish and Central European form of Cornelia, derived from the Roman family name Cornelius, of uncertain Etruscan or Latin origin — possibly related to the Latin cornu meaning "horn." Cornelia was one of the most celebrated names in Roman history through Cornelia Africana (190–100 BC), mother of the Gracchi brothers, who was regarded as a model of Roman womanhood.
