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."

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.

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.

Maja

Maja is a widespread Slavic feminine name with two distinct origins: it functions as both a short form of Marija (the Slavic form of Mary, from Hebrew Miriam meaning "beloved" or "wished-for child") and as an independent name connected to the Roman goddess Maia, deity of spring and growth. In Polish, Czech, Slovak, and South Slavic cultures it is a popular springtime name associated with warmth, nature, and new beginnings.

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.

Romana

Romana is a feminine given name derived from the Latin Romanus meaning "Roman" or "of Rome." It is used in Polish, Czech, Slovak, Italian, and other European cultures. The name carries the prestige of ancient Rome and the Catholic Church's historical connection to the city, making it both a classical and a devotional name in Slavic countries.

Agnieszka

Agnieszka is the Polish form of Agnes, derived from the ancient Greek "hagnos" meaning "pure," "chaste," or "holy." Saint Agnes of Rome, a fourth-century virgin martyr of extraordinary courage, made this name revered across the Catholic world. In Poland, Agnieszka has been one of the most consistently popular feminine names for centuries. The name is internationally known through filmmaker Agnieszka Holland, whose films explore Polish and European history with unsparing clarity.
