I looked through popular names Poland.
Questions about these – are they popular because of Ukrainians in Poland or are they also used by Poles?

I know Maksym is labelled as Polish but I could not find many Polish people called Maksym (I also did not look further than Wikipedia).

I'd imagine the names you listed are mostly listed by Ukrainians. Poland received a lot of Ukrainian refugees after Russia invaded Poland back in 2022, although there has been a Ukrainian presence in southeastern Poland long before that too.

Yes, I know this? That is why I asked.

I was born in Poland. The only names I could see being used by Poles are Maksym and Bohdan. There was a Bohdan in my own extended family. These are also the only two in name books I have.

Edited to add: I am not sure about Nelia. I suppose that it is being used by Poles. Kornelia has been popular and perhaps Nelia is now being used as a full name.

Are Maksym and Bohdan likely used by Poles, but higher ranking is because of Ukrainians?

Probably higher ranking because of Ukrainians.

Actually the names: Denis, Luka, Sofia, Viktoria and Nelia are not just used by Ukrainians but also some Poles

Luka was listed on accident not supposed to be there

V is not used in Polish language (outside of borrowed words) so Viktoria is very likely not used by Poles

Unfortunately, I don't have any statistics, but I've never heard any of these names on Poles, only Ukrainians.
