“Jadwiga is the Polish form of Hedwig, derived from the Old High German "Hadawig," composed of "hadu" meaning "battle" or "combat" and "wig" meaning "war" or "warrior." Saint Jadwiga of Poland (1373–1399) — the young queen who brought the Grand Duchy of Lithuania into the Catholic Christian fold and founded Jagiellonian University — is one of the most honored figures in Polish history. She was canonized in 1997 by Pope John Paul II.”

“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.”

Witold

“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." Alternatively, it may have Germanic origins meaning "ruling the forest." It was the name of the great Lithuanian ruler Vytautas (1350–1430), who led the Grand Duchy of Lithuania to its greatest territorial extent.”

Ewa

“Ewa is the Polish form of Eve, derived from the Hebrew "Chava" meaning "life" or "living" — related to the Hebrew word "chai" meaning "life." In Genesis, Adam names his wife Chavah "because she was the mother of all living." The name has been used in Poland since the Christianization of the country and remains one of the most enduring and popular Polish feminine names, deeply embedded in both religious tradition and everyday Polish life.”

Fryderyk

“Fryderyk is the Polish form of Frederick, derived from the Germanic Friedrich, composed of frid meaning "peace" and ric meaning "ruler" or "power" — thus "peaceful ruler." The name was borne by Holy Roman Emperors and Prussian kings, and in Poland it is inseparably associated with Frédéric Chopin (1810–1849), the great Polish Romantic composer who is the supreme expression of the Polish national spirit in music.”

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.”
