More Polish names

Klaudia

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.

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.

Mariusz

Mariusz is the Polish form of the Latin Marius, a name of debated etymology — possibly derived from Mars, the Roman god of war (suggesting "warlike"), or from the Latin mas/maris meaning "male" or "manly." The name gained historical prominence through Gaius Marius, the Roman general and consul who reformed the Roman legions in the 2nd century BC.

Kacper

Kacper is the Polish form of Caspar (or Jasper), derived from the Persian Gathaspar or Gaspar, meaning "treasurer" or "master of the treasure." By Christian tradition, Caspar was the name given to one of the Three Wise Men (Magi) who brought gifts to the infant Jesus, and the name spread throughout Catholic Europe — particularly Poland, where Kacper is the common variant.

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.

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.
