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.”
Monika
Polish · “Monika is the Slavic form of Monica, a name of uncertain origin — possibly Berber or Phoenician (associated with North Africa where Saint Monica lived), possibly from the Latin "monere" meaning "to advise" or "to warn." Saint Monica (331–387), the deeply devout mother of Saint Augustine of Hippo, whose decades of prayer finally converted her brilliant but wayward son, gave this name an enduring spiritual significance across Catholic Europe.”

Kazimierz
“Kazimierz is a Polish masculine name of Slavic origin, composed of "kazić" meaning "to destroy" or "to command" and "mir" meaning "peace" or "world" — an apparent paradox often interpreted as "he who commands peace" or "destroyer of enemies." Saint Casimir of Poland (1458–1484), the ascetic prince who refused a throne and devoted himself to prayer, is the patron saint of Poland and Lithuania. Kazimierz is also the name of the historic Jewish quarter of Kraków.”
Dominik
“Dominik is the Slavic form of Dominic, derived from the Late Latin Dominicus meaning "belonging to the Lord" or "of the Master," from dominus (lord, master). The name was popularized in Catholic cultures through Saint Dominic (1170–1221), founder of the Dominican Order, and is common across Poland, Czech Republic, Slovakia, Croatia, and other Slavic countries.”
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.”
Iga
“Iga is a Polish feminine diminutive, used as a short form of Jadwiga — the Polish form of Hedwig, derived from the Germanic Hadwig, composed of elements meaning "battle" and "war." Jadwiga was the name of the famous Polish Queen Jadwiga (1374–1399), who was later canonized as a saint, giving the name royal and religious prestige in Poland.”
Witold
“Witold is a Polish masculine name derived from the Lithuanian Vytautas, which is composed of vyti meaning "to chase" or "to pursue" and tauta meaning "people" or "nation." Alternatively, it may have Germanic origins meaning "ruling the forest." It was the name of the great Lithuanian ruler Vytautas (1350–1430), who led the Grand Duchy of Lithuania to its greatest territorial extent.”
Joanna
“Joanna is the Latinate feminine form of John, derived from the Hebrew "Yochanan" meaning "God is gracious." In the New Testament, Joanna appears as one of the women who followed Jesus and who witnessed the empty tomb — an early and significant figure in the Christian story. The name has been used in Poland since medieval times and is one of the most stable and enduring of Polish feminine names.”
