Anastazja
Polish · “Anastazja is the Polish form of Anastasia, derived from the Greek anastasis meaning "resurrection" — from ana (up, again) and histanai (to stand). The name has deep religious resonance in both Eastern Orthodox and Roman Catholic traditions, associated with Saint Anastasia, a fourth-century martyr. In Russian imperial history, Grand Duchess Anastasia Romanova made the name famous worldwide.”
Wanda
Polish · “Wanda is a Polish feminine name of uncertain origin — it may derive from the Germanic "Vandal" (the name of the East Germanic people), from a Slavic root related to "woda" meaning "water," or it may be an entirely independent Polish creation. In Polish legend, Wanda was the daughter of Krak, the mythical founder of Kraków, who threw herself into the Vistula River rather than marry a German prince — a story that made her name a symbol of Polish national pride and female self-determination.”
