Wiktor

Wiktor is the Polish form of Victor, from the Latin victor meaning "conqueror" or "winner." In Poland the name has strong Catholic associations through Saint Victor, and it appears throughout Polish history borne by writers, painters, and public figures. The Polish spelling distinguishes it clearly from the Russian/Czech Viktor.

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).

Marta is a Polish, Czech, Slovak, and broader Slavic feminine name, the Slavic form of Martha, derived from the Aramaic "marta" meaning "lady" or "mistress of the house."

The Polish singer Edyta Górniak, who represented Poland at the Eurovision Song Contest in 1994, gave the name a modern cultural profile.

Ewa

Ewa is the Polish form of Eve, derived from the Hebrew "Chava" meaning "life" or "living" — related to the Hebrew word "chai" meaning "life." In Genesis, Adam names his wife Chavah "because she was the mother of all living." The name has been used in Poland since the Christianization of the country and remains one of the most enduring and popular Polish feminine names, deeply embedded in both religious tradition and everyday Polish life.

Piotr
