Adrianna

“Adrianna is an elaborated feminine form of Adrian/Adriana, from the Latin Hadrianus, referring to someone from the city of Hadria near the Adriatic Sea. The doubled final syllable gives the name additional warmth and expressiveness. It is used in Poland and other Slavic countries alongside the simpler Adriana.”

Romana

“Romana is a feminine given name derived from the Latin Romanus meaning "Roman" or "of Rome." It is used in Polish, Czech, Slovak, Italian, and other European cultures. The name carries the prestige of ancient Rome and the Catholic Church's historical connection to the city, making it both a classical and a devotional name in Slavic countries.”

Roksana

“Roksana is the Russian and Polish form of Roxana, derived from the Old Persian rauxshna meaning "bright," "luminous," or "dawn." The historical Roxana was the Bactrian wife of Alexander the Great, and the name passed through ancient Greek into European usage, where it was associated with exotic beauty and Eastern splendor.”

Monika

“Monika is the Slavic form of Monica, a name of uncertain origin — possibly Berber or Phoenician (associated with North Africa where Saint Monica lived), possibly from the Latin "monere" meaning "to advise" or "to warn." Saint Monica (331–387), the deeply devout mother of Saint Augustine of Hippo, whose decades of prayer finally converted her brilliant but wayward son, gave this name an enduring spiritual significance across Catholic Europe.”

Tola

“Tola is a Polish and Slavic feminine diminutive, most commonly used as a short form of Anatola or Antonina. As a diminutive of Antonina, it derives from the Roman family name Antonius, of uncertain etymology — possibly meaning "priceless" or "invaluable." In Polish everyday usage Tola is a warm, intimate nickname used for women named Antonina.”

Wojciech

“Wojciech is a Polish masculine name of purely Slavic origin, composed of "woj" from "wojsko" meaning "army" or "warrior" and "ciech" from "ciecha" meaning "joy" or "consolation" — thus "joyful warrior" or "warrior's consolation." Saint Wojciech (Adalbert of Prague, c. 956–997), the Bishop of Prague who was martyred while evangelizing the Prussians, is the patron saint of Poland, Bohemia, and Hungary.”
