Adrianna
“Adrianna is an elaborated feminine form of Adrian/Adriana, from the Latin Hadrianus, referring to someone from the city of Hadria near the Adriatic Sea. The doubled final syllable gives the name additional warmth and expressiveness. It is used in Poland and other Slavic countries alongside the simpler Adriana.”
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.”
Karolina
“Karolina is a feminine given name, the Slavic and Scandinavian feminine form of Karol/Karl, itself derived from the Old Germanic karl meaning "free man" or "man." The name is ultimately connected to Charles/Charlemagne and is common as a feminine name in Croatian, Polish, Czech, Slovak, Finnish, Norwegian, Danish, and Swedish. In Slavic cultures it carries an elegant, slightly aristocratic quality.”
Maks
“Maks is a Slavic masculine short form of Maksymilian (Maximilian) or Maksim (Maxim), ultimately from the Latin Maximus meaning "the greatest." As the Slavic diminutive it carries the full weight of the Latin superlative in a compact, punchy form. It is used in Polish, Russian, Ukrainian, and other Slavic languages.”
Maja
“Maja is a widespread Slavic feminine name with two distinct origins: it functions as both a short form of Marija (the Slavic form of Mary, from Hebrew Miriam meaning "beloved" or "wished-for child") and as an independent name connected to the Roman goddess Maia, deity of spring and growth. In Polish, Czech, Slovak, and South Slavic cultures it is a popular springtime name associated with warmth, nature, and new beginnings.”
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.”
