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.”
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.”
Monika
“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.”
Ewa
“Ewa is the Polish form of Eve, derived from the Hebrew "Chava" meaning "life" or "living" — related to the Hebrew word "chai" meaning "life." In Genesis, Adam names his wife Chavah "because she was the mother of all living." The name has been used in Poland since the Christianization of the country and remains one of the most enduring and popular Polish feminine names, deeply embedded in both religious tradition and everyday Polish life.”
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.”
Malgorzata
“Małgorzata is one of the most common Polish feminine names, the Polish form of Margaret, derived through Latin Margarita from ancient Greek margarites meaning "pearl." It has been used in Poland since the medieval period and is closely associated with Saint Margaret of Antioch. Its diminutive forms — Małgosia, Gosia, Gośka — are among the most recognizable in the Polish naming tradition.”
