Tadeusz
Polish · “Tadeusz is the Polish form of Thaddeus, derived from the Aramaic name Taddai, meaning "heart" or "courageous heart." It entered Polish culture through the biblical apostle Thaddeus and became deeply embedded in national identity, most famously through Adam Mickiewicz's 1834 epic poem Pan Tadeusz, considered the national epic of Poland.”
Piotr
Polish · “Piotr is the Polish and Belarusian form of Peter, derived from the Greek Petros meaning "stone" or "rock." The name achieved widespread popularity in Slavic lands through the veneration of Saint Peter, one of Christ's twelve apostles and the traditional first bishop of Rome. In Poland, Piotr has been a perennially popular name carried by kings, composers, and literary figures.”
Andrzej
Polish · “Andrzej is the Polish form of Andrew, derived from the ancient Greek Andreas, from "aner" (genitive "andros") meaning "man" in the sense of a strong, virile adult male. The name entered Poland through Christianity via Saint Andrew the Apostle, the patron saint of Scotland, Russia, and Romania, who according to tradition preached among the peoples of Eastern Europe. Andrzej is among the most common Polish masculine names across all historical periods.”

Monika
“Monika is the Slavic form of Monica, a name of uncertain origin — possibly Berber or Phoenician (associated with North Africa where Saint Monica lived), possibly from the Latin "monere" meaning "to advise" or "to warn." Saint Monica (331–387), the deeply devout mother of Saint Augustine of Hippo, whose decades of prayer finally converted her brilliant but wayward son, gave this name an enduring spiritual significance across Catholic Europe.”
Renata
“Renata is derived from the Latin renatus meaning "born again" or "reborn," from the verb renasci. It entered European usage through early Christian baptismal theology, representing spiritual renewal. The name is common across Polish, Czech, Italian, and other European cultures.”
Anastazja
“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.”
Kacper
“Kacper is the Polish form of Caspar (or Jasper), derived from the Persian Gathaspar or Gaspar, meaning "treasurer" or "master of the treasure." By Christian tradition, Caspar was the name given to one of the Three Wise Men (Magi) who brought gifts to the infant Jesus, and the name spread throughout Catholic Europe — particularly Poland, where Kacper is the common variant.”
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.”
Gabriela
“Gabriela is the feminine form of Gabriel, derived from the Hebrew Gavriel meaning "God is my strength." It is the standard feminine form used in Polish, Czech, Slovak, Bulgarian, Romanian, Spanish, and Portuguese. The name carries all the biblical resonance of the archangel Gabriel while taking on a distinctly feminine character across Slavic and Romance language cultures.”
