Related names
Maria
Hebrew · “The Latin form of Mary, from the Hebrew Miriam (מִרְיָם), whose meaning is uncertain — proposed interpretations include "beloved," "wished-for child," "sea of bitterness," and "rebelliousness." In Christian tradition, Maria is above all the name of the Virgin Mary, which drove its adoption across Catholic and Orthodox Europe. It remains one of the most widely used feminine names in the world.”
Anna
Old Slavic · “Anna is the Latin form of the Hebrew name Hannah, meaning "favour" or "grace." It appears in the Hebrew Bible as the name of Samuel's mother and in the New Testament as Anna the Prophetess. Through its adoption by early Christianity and the veneration of Saint Anne, mother of the Virgin Mary, the name spread throughout Europe and became one of the most enduring feminine names in all Slavic languages.”
Marta
Polish · “Marta is a Polish, Czech, Slovak, and broader Slavic feminine name, the Slavic form of Martha, derived from the Aramaic "marta" meaning "lady" or "mistress of the house." In the New Testament, Martha of Bethany is the practical, hardworking sister of Mary and Lazarus who busies herself with household duties while Mary sits at Jesus's feet — making the name a byword for capable domestic virtue. It has been used in Poland, Czech Republic, and other Slavic countries since the medieval period.”

Dagmara
“Dagmara is the Polish form of Dagmar, a Scandinavian name derived from Old Norse dagr meaning "day" and mær meaning "maiden" or "daughter." It came to Poland through Scandinavian influence during the medieval period and became a distinctly Polish feminine name with an aristocratic, slightly exotic quality.”
Lukasz
“Łukasz is the Polish form of Luke (Lucas), derived from the Greek Loukas, which most likely refers to someone from the region of Lucania in southern Italy. It may also be related to the Latin lux meaning "light." The name gained widespread use in Slavic countries through the Gospel of Luke and the veneration of Saint Luke the Evangelist.”
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.”
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.”
Zbigniew
“Zbigniew is a Polish masculine name of Slavic origin, composed of "zbić" meaning "to drive away," "to overcome," or "to scatter" and "gniew" meaning "anger" or "wrath" — thus "he who drives away anger" or "destroyer of wrath." It is one of the authentic old Slavic names that survived Poland's Christianization. The name is internationally known through Zbigniew Brzeziński, the Polish-American political scientist and National Security Advisor to President Carter.”
Wiktor
“Wiktor is the Polish form of Victor, from the Latin victor meaning "conqueror" or "winner." In Poland the name has strong Catholic associations through Saint Victor, and it appears throughout Polish history borne by writers, painters, and public figures. The Polish spelling distinguishes it clearly from the Russian/Czech Viktor.”
