This article lies within the sphere of interests of cultural onomastics asa linguistic image of the world along with many semantic connotations arising from the population’s cultural experiences, knowledge, beliefs, value systems, and stereotypization. As exemplified by Silesian toponyms, proper names are shown as expressions of a linguistic image of the world, reflecting an everyday vision of the world, demonstrating its anthropocentric conceptualization and the ways of categorizing reality.

The paper presents an introductory overview of proper names inspired by the spiritual aspects of human life. The author proves a cultural role of these names in the onymic areas that can manifest themselves in local and personal names but also in other types as chrematonyms. Particular emphasis is placed on reference to toponyms of the region of Dobrzyn nad Wisłą (ziemia dobrzynska) that reveal different spiritual inspirations created in the past. The problem of the names of demons in popular Polish, Italian, and French is also discussed as a sphere close to anthroponymy. Finally, the spiritual inspiration is studied among surnames and in the ludic situations of public life.

In this paper I deal with the most popular first names in Poland given to newborns in period 1995–2010. The first part contains lists of 100 of the most frequent male and female names. I have compared these lists with a similar sets for the earlier periods (1981–1990 i 1900–1994) compiled by K. Nowik. In the next part I present the detailed data for the naming variety in the examined period and with the help of the statistical calculations I show the increasing and decreasing trends for particular groups of names. It appeared that some names, which have similiar characteristics (such as sound, origin, structure), behave the same way, gaining or losing its popularity. In the last part I examined the geographic diversifications of names by comparing frequency lists for each voivodeship. In this case the study revealed the relationship between popularity of some group of names and the area of its appearance. It confirms that there is a regional specificity in naming in Poland and sometimes it crosses national borders.
