For people interested in different cultures, it will be useful to learn a little about life in other countries. This article will give you a piece of Poland, namely, you will learn a bit of history of the Polish names: their characteristics, distribution and importance of some of them.
Poles – the people are very religious, of great importance in the life they give family and Church traditions. So often it is the religious and family traditions become the basis for choosing a baby name. So, in a Polish family can be found a few generations Stanislaviv (with the accent on the «and») or Malgorzata. Of course, in Russia you can also see this kind of continuity, especially in rural areas, but for Poland at the time, this phenomenon was very common.
In addition, one of the major sources from where the parents take the names of their children remain Catholic calendar. This is why Polish names, nicknames abound with Greek, Hebrew and Latin origin. It would seem that Poland – is also a Slavic country, close to us in spirit, and, therefore, on behalf of the Fund, but the difference of religions made a significant differences between habitual to us and Polish names. However, nicknames with Slavic origin and spread before the introduction of Christianity, of course, remain in Poland. Some Polish names can be attributed to both categories. This is due to the fact that many of the saints with Slavic names were canonized (for example, Stanislav, Wlodzimierz). The names of Lithuanian origin (one of the most popular – Algirdas), German (Ferdinand Adolf). Actually Polish surnames originated in Medieval times.

Until recently, a child born in a Polish family might have several names. Now their number is limited to two (maximum - three) law. Middle name baby girl or baby boy choose yourself at the age of nine or ten years, when the time comes for first communion. This is typically the name of one of the saints whom the child wants as his patron. However, the second name is almost never used in everyday life (if only to the person it does not like more the first one).
In different time popular different names. So, recently one of my favorite poles nicknames were:
Also Interesting is a popular and beautiful Polish names for girls. Not so long ago this list was led by:
Now the poles gravitate to nicknames actually of Polish origin (or heavily adapted), so you can meet more men by the name Bohumil, Bartosz, Dimitrios, Kazimierz and girls with names Malgorzata, Dagmara, Magdalena, Agnieszka.
