Polish baby names

Updated: April 9th, 2024

Poland is most religious country of Europe; hence Polish baby names have a great influence by Slavic and Christian tradition.

Polish baby names consist of a given name which is known as the imię and the last name or surname which is known as nazwisko. Polish baby names are usually governed by various laws such as civil law and church law as well as parents’ personal taste and family custom. According to the laws, personnel given name must indicate the person's gender. Almost all female names in Poland ends in a vowel -a and most of the male names end in a consonant or a vowel other than a. A parent has to choose the first name of their child from a long list of traditional names which may come from Biblical or a Slavic name of pre-Christian origin. A parent can give up to two given names to their baby as Polish registry offices do not register more than two given names. Like most of the countries in Europe, Polish surnames are also hereditary and generally patrilineal.

Below is the collection of 400 unique, popular, traditional, and latest Polish baby names.
