Wiktor is the Polish form of Victor, from the Latin victor meaning "conqueror" or "winner."

The Polish spelling distinguishes it clearly from the Russian/Czech Viktor.

Saint Agnes of Rome, a fourth-century virgin martyr of extraordinary courage, made this name revered across the Catholic world.

Wojciech is a Polish masculine name of purely Slavic origin, composed of "woj" from "wojsko" meaning "army" or "warrior" and "ciech" from "ciecha" meaning "joy" or "consolation" — thus "joyful warrior" or "warrior's consolation." Saint Wojciech (Adalbert of Prague, c. 956–997), the Bishop of Prague who was martyred while evangelizing the Prussians, is the patron saint of Poland, Bohemia, and Hungary.

Kamila

Kamila is a feminine given name with Slavic and Latin roots. In Slavic languages it derives from the Latin Camilla — the name of the legendary Volscian warrior maiden in Virgil's Aeneid who was so swift she could run across a field of grain without bending a single stalk. In Arabic-influenced Muslim Slavic communities it may also connect to kamil meaning "perfect." The name is common in Poland, Czech Republic, and Slovakia.
