The name has been venerated in the Christian world through Saint Sophia and the magnificent Hagia Sophia ("Holy Wisdom") in Constantinople.

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. The name has been borne by two Polish kings and is one of the most representative names of Polish identity.”
Kamila
“Kamila is a feminine given name with Slavic and Latin roots. In Slavic languages it derives from the Latin Camilla — the name of the legendary Volscian warrior maiden in Virgil's Aeneid who was so swift she could run across a field of grain without bending a single stalk. In Arabic-influenced Muslim Slavic communities it may also connect to kamil meaning "perfect." The name is common in Poland, Czech Republic, and Slovakia.”

Liwia
“Liwia is the Polish form of Livia, derived from the Roman family name Livius, of uncertain etymology — possibly from the Latin lividus meaning "bluish" or "leaden-colored," or from an Etruscan root. The name is associated with Livia Drusilla (58 BC–29 AD), wife of Emperor Augustus and one of the most powerful women in Roman history.”
Natasza
“Natasza is the Polish form of Natasha, a diminutive of Natalya derived from the Latin "natale domini" meaning "birth of the Lord." As a given name in its own right in Polish culture, it carries the warmth of the Russian diminutive while establishing a distinctly Polish orthographic identity. The name connects Polish culture to the great tradition of Russian literature — most powerfully to Natasha Rostova in Tolstoy's War and Peace.”
