Roksana
“Roksana is the Russian and Polish form of Roxana, derived from the Old Persian rauxshna meaning "bright," "luminous," or "dawn." The historical Roxana was the Bactrian wife of Alexander the Great, and the name passed through ancient Greek into European usage, where it was associated with exotic beauty and Eastern splendor.”
Iwona
“Iwona is the Polish feminine form of Yvonne, ultimately derived from the Old French and Germanic "Ivo" from "iv" meaning "yew tree" — the yew being prized in medieval Europe for its wood used in longbows. The name entered Poland via French influence and was particularly fashionable in the mid-20th century. Witold Gombrowicz's absurdist play "Iwona, Princess of Burgundia" (1938) gave the name a distinctive place in Polish theatrical tradition.”
Marcelina
“Marcelina is a feminine given name, a Latinate diminutive form of Marcellus, itself derived from the Roman praenomen Marcus and ultimately linked to Mars, the Roman god of war. The name has been used in Poland and other Slavic countries since the medieval period, carried by Saint Marcelina, the sister of Saint Ambrose of Milan.”
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.”
Dominika
“Dominika is the feminine form of Dominik, derived from the Latin Dominicus meaning "belonging to the Lord" or "of the Master." It is widely used across Polish, Czech, Slovak, and other Slavic cultures, where it carries strong Catholic resonance tied to Saint Dominic, founder of the Dominican Order.”
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.”
