Jeremi

Meaning — Jeremi is a Polish masculine name, a form of Jeremy/Jeremiah, derived from the Hebrew Yirmeyahu meaning "God will exalt" or "appointed by God."

Justyna

Justyna is the Polish feminine form of Justinus, derived from the Latin justus meaning "just," "righteous," or "fair." The name was borne by several early Christian saints and martyrs. In Poland it has been a consistently popular feminine name, carrying strong associations with moral integrity and quiet determination.

Mariusz

Mariusz is the Polish form of the Latin Marius, a name of debated etymology — possibly derived from Mars, the Roman god of war (suggesting "warlike"), or from the Latin mas/maris meaning "male" or "manly." The name gained historical prominence through Gaius Marius, the Roman general and consul who reformed the Roman legions in the 2nd century BC.

Borys

Borys is the Polish and Ukrainian form of Boris, a name of disputed etymology — likely from Old Turkic bogoris or bulgar meaning "short" or "wolf," or alternatively a Slavic adaptation meaning "battle glory" from elements bor (fight) and slav (glory). It entered Slavic culture through the Bulgarian ruler Knyaz Boris I, who Christianized Bulgaria in 864 AD and became the first Bulgarian saint.

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.

Emilia

Emilia is a feminine given name of Latin origin, the feminine form of the Roman family name Aemilius, possibly derived from the Latin aemulus meaning "rival" or "striving to equal." It is popular across Italian, Spanish, Polish, Czech, Romanian, and other European cultures. In Polish and Czech usage the name has a classic, slightly formal elegance.

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.
