More and more, Polish names are becoming a notable feature of the names used in Britain. Migration from Poland to Britain has been high since 2004 and, as well as adding more colour to Britain's multi-culturalism, the effect can been seen increasingly in naming trends.
Several Polish names feature in the British name ranks. Poland's #1, Jakub, ranked at #124 in England and Wales in 2010, while runners-up Kacper and Szymon rank at #171 and #254 respectively. Poland's Top 10 favourites for girls also rank within the Top 400 in England and Wales, including: Maja (#134), Oliwia (#254), Wiktoria (#323) and Aleksandra (#292).
This list attempts to capture popular names in Poland, and the Polish names used frequently in Britain. Check this link for pronunciation guidance.
