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.

The name is internationally known through filmmaker Agnieszka Holland, whose films explore Polish and European history with unsparing clarity.”

Edyta
“Edyta is the Polish form of Edith, derived from the Old English name Eadgyth, composed of "ead" meaning "wealth," "fortune," or "prosperity" and "gyth" meaning "war" or "strife" — thus "prosperous in war." The name came into Polish use via its Latin and French forms and has been firmly established in Poland since the 19th century. The Polish singer Edyta Górniak, who represented Poland at the Eurovision Song Contest in 1994, gave the name a modern cultural profile.”
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.”
Dominik
