                                                  First names


Some people find it surprising to hear that two Polish names sounding totally different are in fact a name and its short form. My name, for example, is short for Magdalena and Kasia is short for Katarzyna.
There are some more examples: Ola for Aleksandra, Gosia for Małgorzata. Some names, like Ewa, are easier to remember, as they don’t have a short form of this kind.

You could have noted that all female names end in ‘a’, regardless of the form.

The most popular male names are for example Michał (Michael), Łukasz (Luke), Maciek or Piotr (Peter).
