Dominika

Polish · “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.”

Paulina

Polish · “Paulina is the feminine form of Paulinus, a derivative of Paulus (Paul), from the Latin paulus meaning "small" or "humble." It is used as a feminine given name in Polish, Czech, Spanish, Portuguese, and other European languages. In Poland Paulina has been a popular name since the medieval period, carried by saints and noble women alike.”

Klaudia

Polish · “Klaudia is the Polish and Slovak feminine form of Claudia, derived from the Roman family name Claudius, whose origins are uncertain — possibly from the Latin claudus meaning "lame." The Claudii were one of the great patrician families of ancient Rome. The name entered Slavic cultures through Catholic tradition and has been used in Poland for centuries.”

Veronika

Czech · “Veronika is the Czech, Slovak, Polish, and broader Slavic form of Veronica, from the Latin phrase "vera icon" meaning "true image" — a name that fused the Latin "verus" (true) with the Greek "eikon" (image). Saint Veronica, the woman who according to tradition wiped Jesus's face with a cloth on the way to Calvary and found his image miraculously imprinted on it, made this name deeply embedded in Catholic devotion. The name has also been interpreted as a Latinized form of the Greek Berenike.”

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.”

Cyprian

“Cyprian is a masculine name derived from the Latin Cyprianus, meaning "man of Cyprus" — someone from the island of Cyprus, which was famous in antiquity for its copper (cuprum) and its association with Aphrodite/Venus. Saint Cyprian of Carthage (c. 200–258) was an early Church Father and bishop martyr whose writings shaped Catholic ecclesiology.”

Jerzy

“Jerzy is the Polish form of George, derived through Latin Georgius from the Greek Georgios, meaning "farmer" or "earth-worker," from ge (earth) and ergon (work). The name became enormously popular across Christian Europe through the legend of Saint George, the dragon-slaying patron saint, and in Poland it has been a consistently common masculine name for centuries.”

Jadwiga

“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.”

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.”

Roksana

“Roksana is the Russian and Polish form of Roxana, derived from the Old Persian rauxshna meaning "bright," "luminous," or "dawn." The historical Roxana was the Bactrian wife of Alexander the Great, and the name passed through ancient Greek into European usage, where it was associated with exotic beauty and Eastern splendor.”
