EN

The article deals primarily with names given the youngest male and female Poles in the 39 largest cities of Poland during the last 16 years (1995–2010). The author shows the general numerical structure of these anthroponyms – there are 6,292 such names. Also a subject of interest are anthroponyms of very low frequency (4,701 names have a frequency of being given one to three times). Then the author compares a ranking list of the one hundred most frequently selected given names in the largest cities of Poland during the years 1995–2010 with a similar list of frequencies for names most often used through the whole 20th century, pointing out similarities and differences between them. The author also discusses the statistic distribution of the masculine and feminine Polish names currently most popular in large cities. She notes the similarities and divergences in regard to preference in selection of these names in large cities in comparison with the capital (Warsaw), Mazowieckie voivodeship, and Poland as a whole.
