One of my favourites it is very feminine and elegant with a biblical touch. Lots of nicknames and I'm a big fan.

A very popular name in Poland, with spunky nickname Magda. I think this is one of the most transferable Polish names: no foreign characters, intuitive to say and spell, and has a different-yet familiar sound. I really like it!
