Tola
“Tola is a Polish and Slavic feminine diminutive, most commonly used as a short form of Anatola or Antonina. As a diminutive of Antonina, it derives from the Roman family name Antonius, of uncertain etymology — possibly meaning "priceless" or "invaluable." In Polish everyday usage Tola is a warm, intimate nickname used for women named Antonina.”
Oskar
“Oskar is the Scandinavian and Central European form of Oscar, derived from the Old Norse Ásgeir or the Old Irish Oscur — possibly meaning "spear of god" (from Old Norse áss, god, and geirr, spear) or from Old Irish elements meaning "champion warrior." The name spread through Napoleon's admiration for Ossian's poetry and became popular across Scandinavia and German-speaking Europe, including Poland.”
Wladyslaw
“Władysław is a Polish masculine name of purely Slavic origin, composed of "władać" meaning "to rule" or "to govern" and "sława" meaning "glory" — thus "glorious ruler." It is one of the most regal of Polish names, borne by four Kings of Poland including Władysław I Łokietek (Władysław the Elbow-High, 1260–1333), who reunified the fragmented Polish lands. The name has deep associations with Polish kingship and national restoration.”
Kornelia
“Kornelia is the Polish and Central European form of Cornelia, derived from the Roman family name Cornelius, of uncertain Etruscan or Latin origin — possibly related to the Latin cornu meaning "horn." Cornelia was one of the most celebrated names in Roman history through Cornelia Africana (190–100 BC), mother of the Gracchi brothers, who was regarded as a model of Roman womanhood.”
Kamil
“Kamil is a masculine name with dual origins. As a Slavic name used in Poland and Czech Republic, it derives from the Latin Camillus, a Roman cognomen possibly meaning "young ceremonial attendant" or "free-born." In Arabic-speaking countries and Muslim Slavic communities, Kamil derives from the Arabic kāmil meaning "perfect" or "complete."”
Jakub
“Jakub is the Polish, Czech, and Slovak form of Jacob, derived from the Hebrew "Yaakov" meaning "he who supplants" or "heel-grabber" — referring to the biblical patriarch Jacob's grasping of his twin brother Esau's heel at birth. Saint James the Apostle (Latin: Jacobus) spread this name throughout Christian Europe, and in its various Slavic forms — Jakub, Jakov, Jakobus — it has been one of the most widespread masculine names across the Slavic world.”
