Filip
“Filip is the Slavic form of Philip, derived from the Greek Philippos meaning "lover of horses," from philein (to love) and hippos (horse). It is used as a masculine given name in Polish, Czech, Slovak, Serbian, Croatian, Bulgarian, and other Slavic languages. In the New Testament, Philip was one of the twelve apostles, giving the name strong Catholic resonance in Slavic cultures.”
Zofia
“Zofia is the Polish form of Sophia, derived from the ancient Greek "sophia" meaning "wisdom." The name has been venerated in the Christian world through Saint Sophia and the magnificent Hagia Sophia ("Holy Wisdom") in Constantinople. In Poland, Zofia has been one of the most consistent feminine names across all periods, borne by queens and literary figures alike. The Polish diminutive Zosia has an instant warmth and familiarity.”
Iwona
“Iwona is the Polish feminine form of Yvonne, ultimately derived from the Old French and Germanic "Ivo" from "iv" meaning "yew tree" — the yew being prized in medieval Europe for its wood used in longbows. The name entered Poland via French influence and was particularly fashionable in the mid-20th century. Witold Gombrowicz's absurdist play "Iwona, Princess of Burgundia" (1938) gave the name a distinctive place in Polish theatrical tradition.”
Wanda
“Wanda is a Polish feminine name of uncertain origin — it may derive from the Germanic "Vandal" (the name of the East Germanic people), from a Slavic root related to "woda" meaning "water," or it may be an entirely independent Polish creation. In Polish legend, Wanda was the daughter of Krak, the mythical founder of Kraków, who threw herself into the Vistula River rather than marry a German prince — a story that made her name a symbol of Polish national pride and female self-determination.”
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.”
Jeremi
“Jeremi is a Polish masculine name, a form of Jeremy/Jeremiah, derived from the Hebrew Yirmeyahu meaning "God will exalt" or "appointed by God." The prophet Jeremiah, one of the major prophets of the Hebrew Bible, gives the name its primary resonance — the "weeping prophet" whose lamentations over Jerusalem's destruction became a model of prophetic sorrow.”
