Help[Opinions] Re: Jagna
in reply to a message by )(
It has some trendy sounds, its popularity grew along with Iga and Jagoda, and it's fun to say. Maybe the growing popularity of cottagecore also had something to do with it? And old grandma names have also been rising in recent years so it may be fitting in with that style.
It's in Reymont's "The Peasants" (where it's stated that it's a diminutive of Agnieszka), and in Sienkiewicz's "The Knights of the Cross", though further softened to Jagienka because the man was insufferable. Another name he used in a different mandatory school reading ("In Desert and Wilderness") - Nel - is also starting to break into the top 100 even though it was even supposed to sound foreign and sounds weird as a Polish girl name but that could be another reason for Jagna's popularity, especially consideling young people's increased interest in these novels as Sienkiewicz's rivalry with another writer was memefied some years ago.
