Many foreign names have come to Poland, which are more and more often used not only by show business stars. The name it will be, in particular, is chosen by parents who travel frequently or with a passion for traveling. What foreign female names do we choose most often?
Foreign female names in Poland can be given only for a few years
Contrary to appearances, the regulations that allowed parents to give their children foreign names appeared not so long ago, on March 1, 2015. The only thing to remember is that it cannot be diminutive, derogatory or ridiculous. In a very short time, many parents took advantage of this possibility. Initially, the most popular were: Andrea, Carmen, Elena, Hannah, Jessica and Marika.
The most popular foreign female names today. Their importance may surprise you
However, these trends have changed somewhat over the past few years. The list for girls includes:
- Emma – means “the one who carries a good star”. The name of Germanic origin owes its popularity primarily to its easy pronunciation. It sounds exactly the same in almost every language,
- Mia – in Latin and in Italian it means “my”, and from Slavic origin it means “beloved”, “luba”. In 2020, this name was given to as many as 488 girls
- Lea – this name of Hebrew origin can be translated as “lioness”. Every year in Poland about 50 girls are called so,
- Stella – in other words “star” comes from Latin. The name is chosen much more often in the USA than in Poland, but it becomes more popular every year,
- Laila – is a name of Arabic origin which means “darkness”, “night”. In Poland, about 30 girls are given this name each year.
