Stanislaw
“Stanisław is a Polish masculine name of purely Slavic origin, composed of "stani" from "stanąć" meaning "to become" or "to stand" and "sław" from "slawa" meaning "glory" — thus "become glorious" or "he who has become famous." Saint Stanisław of Kraków (1030–1079), a bishop murdered by King Bolesław II at the altar, is the patron saint of Poland.
