Jan

Jan is the Polish, Czech, Slovak, Dutch, and Scandinavian form of John, derived from the Hebrew Yohanan meaning "God is gracious." It is one of the most common masculine names across all Slavic languages and has been borne by Polish kings, Czech reformers — most famously Jan Hus, the martyred religious reformer — and countless literary and historical figures.

Matylda

Matylda is the Polish form of Matilda, a Germanic feminine name composed of maht meaning "might" or "strength" and hild meaning "battle" — thus "mighty in battle." The name was made famous by Empress Matilda (1102–1167), daughter of Henry I of England, who fought for the English crown, and by the fictional Matilda of Roald Dahl.

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.

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.

Paulina

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.

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.
