Polish Names

A classic name in Poland, where it has been in the Top 50 since 2007. Michalina is the feminine form of Michal, the Polish, Czech, and Slavic variation of Michael.

This surname is quite rare in the United States these days. However, during the late nineteenth and early twentieth centuries, Jakube was introduced into American and Canadian society as the last name of a number of predominantly Jewish immigrants. These new entrants represented multiple nationalities, hailing from Poland, Czechoslovakia, Russia, and Germany, to name a few.
