Jadwiga
Polish · “Jadwiga is the Polish form of Hedwig, derived from the Old High German "Hadawig," composed of "hadu" meaning "battle" or "combat" and "wig" meaning "war" or "warrior." Saint Jadwiga of Poland (1373–1399) — the young queen who brought the Grand Duchy of Lithuania into the Catholic Christian fold and founded Jagiellonian University — is one of the most honored figures in Polish history. She was canonized in 1997 by Pope John Paul II.”
Wanda
Polish · “Wanda is a Polish feminine name of uncertain origin — it may derive from the Germanic "Vandal" (the name of the East Germanic people), from a Slavic root related to "woda" meaning "water," or it may be an entirely independent Polish creation. In Polish legend, Wanda was the daughter of Krak, the mythical founder of Kraków, who threw herself into the Vistula River rather than marry a German prince — a story that made her name a symbol of Polish national pride and female self-determination.”
