Andrzej
“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. The name entered Poland through Christianity via Saint Andrew the Apostle, the patron saint of Scotland, Russia, and Romania, who according to tradition preached among the peoples of Eastern Europe. Andrzej is among the most common Polish masculine names across all historical periods.”
Karolina
“Karolina is a feminine given name, the Slavic and Scandinavian feminine form of Karol/Karl, itself derived from the Old Germanic karl meaning "free man" or "man." The name is ultimately connected to Charles/Charlemagne and is common as a feminine name in Croatian, Polish, Czech, Slovak, Finnish, Norwegian, Danish, and Swedish. In Slavic cultures it carries an elegant, slightly aristocratic quality.”
Lukasz
“Łukasz is the Polish form of Luke (Lucas), derived from the Greek Loukas, which most likely refers to someone from the region of Lucania in southern Italy. It may also be related to the Latin lux meaning "light." The name gained widespread use in Slavic countries through the Gospel of Luke and the veneration of Saint Luke the Evangelist.”
Dominik
“Dominik is the Slavic form of Dominic, derived from the Late Latin Dominicus meaning "belonging to the Lord" or "of the Master," from dominus (lord, master). The name was popularized in Catholic cultures through Saint Dominic (1170–1221), founder of the Dominican Order, and is common across Poland, Czech Republic, Slovakia, Croatia, and other Slavic countries.”
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.”

“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.
