The author has compiled names coming (or possibly coming) from holy days and attributes of the Blessed Mother. He divided them into four groups: 1) names used in Poland: Anuncjata, Asumpta, Doloroza, Immakulata, Karmela, Koncepta, Konsolata, Merceda, Newa, Pilar, Redempta, Rozaria and their variants; 2) names not used in Poland but encountered in Spain and Portugal: Guadelupa, Pieta, Puryfikata; c) attributes and holy days of the Blessed Virgin not yet used in naming (especially among monks and nuns), such as the proposed Aparencja from the holy day of the appearance of the Blessed Virgin at Lourdes (a total of 14 names); d) names that have undergone so-called reinterpretation, that is, are associated with content other than that considered at the time of the name’s creation, e.g., Fatima from the name of Mohammed’s daughter, which means in Arabic ‘ablactata — weaned from the maternal breast,’ and is currently associated with Our Lady of Fatima (total of 17 such names).
