- In Poland there is a custom that female names end with an "a" , and the male name can end with any other letter apart from "a". Thanks to that, reading the name of a person, we know the gender. The most popular names in Poland: The female names (as you see all end with - "a"): 1.Anna 2.Maria 3.Katarzyna 4.Malgorzata 5.Agnieszka 6.Krystyna 7. Barbara 8.Ewa 9.Elzbieta 10.Zofia The male names: 1.Jan 2.Andrzej 3.Piotr 4.Krzysztof 5.Stanislaw 6.Tomasz 7.Pawel 8.Jozef 9.Marcin 10.Marek. The popularity of names has changed over time. Now parents tend to give other names to baby girls such as: Julia, Natalia, Wiktoria, Oliwia, Weronika and baby boys: Jakub, Kacper, Filip, Mateusz, Mikolaj.
