More Polish names
Dominika
“Dominika is the feminine form of Dominik, derived from the Latin Dominicus meaning "belonging to the Lord" or "of the Master." It is widely used across Polish, Czech, Slovak, and other Slavic cultures, where it carries strong Catholic resonance tied to Saint Dominic, founder of the Dominican Order.”
Kacper
“Kacper is the Polish form of Caspar (or Jasper), derived from the Persian Gathaspar or Gaspar, meaning "treasurer" or "master of the treasure." By Christian tradition, Caspar was the name given to one of the Three Wise Men (Magi) who brought gifts to the infant Jesus, and the name spread throughout Catholic Europe — particularly Poland, where Kacper is the common variant.”
Paulina
“Paulina is the feminine form of Paulinus, a derivative of Paulus (Paul), from the Latin paulus meaning "small" or "humble." It is used as a feminine given name in Polish, Czech, Spanish, Portuguese, and other European languages. In Poland Paulina has been a popular name since the medieval period, carried by saints and noble women alike.”
Edyta
“Edyta is the Polish form of Edith, derived from the Old English name Eadgyth, composed of "ead" meaning "wealth," "fortune," or "prosperity" and "gyth" meaning "war" or "strife" — thus "prosperous in war." The name came into Polish use via its Latin and French forms and has been firmly established in Poland since the 19th century. The Polish singer Edyta Górniak, who represented Poland at the Eurovision Song Contest in 1994, gave the name a modern cultural profile.”
Malgorzata
“Małgorzata is one of the most common Polish feminine names, the Polish form of Margaret, derived through Latin Margarita from ancient Greek margarites meaning "pearl." It has been used in Poland since the medieval period and is closely associated with Saint Margaret of Antioch. Its diminutive forms — Małgosia, Gosia, Gośka — are among the most recognizable in the Polish naming tradition.”
Dagmara
“Dagmara is the Polish form of Dagmar, a Scandinavian name derived from Old Norse dagr meaning "day" and mær meaning "maiden" or "daughter." It came to Poland through Scandinavian influence during the medieval period and became a distinctly Polish feminine name with an aristocratic, slightly exotic quality.”
