Tatiana
Russian · “Tatiana is a Russian and Slavic feminine name derived from the Latin Tatianus, itself from the Roman family name Tatius — of uncertain Sabine origin, possibly related to the Sabine king Titus Tatius. Saint Tatiana of Rome, a third-century Christian martyr, spread the name through Eastern Orthodox Christianity. In Russia, January 25 — Saint Tatiana's Day — is celebrated as Students' Day, as Moscow State University was founded on that date.”
Irina
Russian · “Irina is the Russian and Slavic form of Irene, derived from the ancient Greek "Eirene" meaning "peace." The goddess Eirene was one of the Horae (goddesses of the seasons) and a personification of peace, depicted carrying a cornucopia. Saint Irene of Rome and other early Christian martyrs spread the name across the Byzantine world and from there into Slavic culture, where it became one of the most enduring feminine names.”
Joanna
Polish · “Joanna is the Latinate feminine form of John, derived from the Hebrew "Yochanan" meaning "God is gracious." In the New Testament, Joanna appears as one of the women who followed Jesus and who witnessed the empty tomb — an early and significant figure in the Christian story. The name has been used in Poland since medieval times and is one of the most stable and enduring of Polish feminine names.”
Agnieszka
Polish · “Agnieszka is the Polish form of Agnes, derived from the ancient Greek "hagnos" meaning "pure," "chaste," or "holy." Saint Agnes of Rome, a fourth-century virgin martyr of extraordinary courage, made this name revered across the Catholic world. In Poland, Agnieszka has been one of the most consistently popular feminine names for centuries. The name is internationally known through filmmaker Agnieszka Holland, whose films explore Polish and European history with unsparing clarity.”

“Patrycja is the Polish feminine form of Patricius (Patrick), derived from the Latin patricius meaning "nobleman" or "of noble birth," referring to the patrician class of ancient Rome. The name came to Poland through the Catholic tradition of Saint Patrick, and it carries strong associations with nobility, dignity, and high social standing.”
Cezary
“Cezary is the Polish form of Caesar, derived from the Roman cognomen Caesar, of uncertain etymology — possibly from the Latin caesus meaning "cut" (possibly referring to a caesarean birth), or from caesaries meaning "head of hair." The name Julius Caesar made it the most famous of all Roman cognomina, and through the imperial tradition it passed into Polish usage as Cezary.”
Wojciech
“Wojciech is a Polish masculine name of purely Slavic origin, composed of "woj" from "wojsko" meaning "army" or "warrior" and "ciech" from "ciecha" meaning "joy" or "consolation" — thus "joyful warrior" or "warrior's consolation." Saint Wojciech (Adalbert of Prague, c. 956–997), the Bishop of Prague who was martyred while evangelizing the Prussians, is the patron saint of Poland, Bohemia, and Hungary.”
Malgorzata
“Małgorzata is one of the most common Polish feminine names, the Polish form of Margaret, derived through Latin Margarita from ancient Greek margarites meaning "pearl." It has been used in Poland since the medieval period and is closely associated with Saint Margaret of Antioch. Its diminutive forms — Małgosia, Gosia, Gośka — are among the most recognizable in the Polish naming tradition.”
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.”
Marianna
“Marianna is a feminine compound name combining Maria and Anna — both ultimately Hebrew in origin, with Maria deriving from Miriam (possibly meaning "wished-for child" or "beloved") and Anna from Hannah (meaning "grace" or "favour"). The combination creates a name of doubled religious resonance, honoring both the Virgin Mary and Saint Anne. It is used in Polish, Czech, Italian, and other European cultures.”
