The paper discusses a secondary, figurative meaning of the proper name Misiewicz that has evolved in the current political discourse in Poland. The data under examination have been retrieved during the years 2016-2017 from paper and electronic editions of Polish newspapers and magazines, including online commentaries and opinions of their readers. It is claimed that best documented and most frequent uses of the name Misiewicz/e [SG./PL.] exhibit a paragonic sense. Barcelona’s [2003, 2004] model was adopted in the explanation of the metonymic mappings underlying them.
