“Marcelina is a feminine given name, a Latinate diminutive form of Marcellus, itself derived from the Roman praenomen Marcus and ultimately linked to Mars, the Roman god of war. The name has been used in Poland and other Slavic countries since the medieval period, carried by Saint Marcelina, the sister of Saint Ambrose of Milan.”
Marta
“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." In the New Testament, Martha of Bethany is the practical, hardworking sister of Mary and Lazarus who busies herself with household duties while Mary sits at Jesus's feet — making the name a byword for capable domestic virtue. It has been used in Poland, Czech Republic, and other Slavic countries since the medieval period.”
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.”
Bronislawa
“Bronisława is a Polish feminine name of purely Slavic origin, composed of "bron" meaning "protection," "armor," or "weapon" and "sława" meaning "glory" — thus "glorious protector" or "famous defender." It is an old Polish name with medieval roots, borne by the Blessed Bronisława of Kraków (1203–1259), a Dominican nun and mystic who is venerated as a blessed in the Catholic Church. The name carries strong associations with female strength in Polish Catholic tradition.”
Oskar

The name spread through Napoleon's admiration for Ossian's poetry and became popular across Scandinavia and German-speaking Europe, including Poland.”
