“Witold is a Polish masculine name derived from the Lithuanian Vytautas, which is composed of vyti meaning "to chase" or "to pursue" and tauta meaning "people" or "nation."

“Andrzej is the Polish form of Andrew, derived from the ancient Greek Andreas, from "aner" (genitive "andros") meaning "man" in the sense of a strong, virile adult male.

Andrzej is among the most common Polish masculine names across all historical periods.”
