Brief history of the Polish people

Poland is a Slavic country located in Central Europe. It has a population of over 38 million people and covers an area of 312,696 square kilometers. Poland has a long and complex history, dating back to the early Middle Ages. The Polish people have traditionally been divided into three main groups: the Western Poles, the Eastern Poles, and the Silesians.

The Western Poles are the descendants of the Polans, a West Slavic tribe that settled in present-day Poland in the early Middle Ages. The Eastern Poles are the descendants of the Ruthenians, another West Slavic tribe that settled in present-day Belarus, Ukraine, and Russia. The Silesians are a group of people who have historically inhabited the region of Silesia, which covers parts of present-day Poland and Czech Republic.

How are Polish people named?

In Poland, people are typically named after saints. For example, if a baby is born on St. James’s day, they might be named Jakub. If multiple babies are born on the same day, they might be distinguished by their middle names. In some cases, a child might be named after a relative who has recently died.

Last names typically end in “-ski,” “-cki,” or “-dzki.” These suffixes denote the geographical region where the family is from. For example, someone with the last name Wojciechowski is from the village of Wojciechy in central Poland.

There are also some occupational last names in Poland.
