Polish Surname
Polish names have two main elements: the given name, and the surname. The usage of personal names in Poland is generally governed by civil law (legal system), civil law, church law, personal taste and family custom. The law requires a given name to indicate the person's gender. Almost all Polish female names end in the vowel ''-a'', and most male names end in a consonant or a vowel other than ''a''. There are, however, a few male names that end in ''a'', which are often old and uncommon, such as Barnaba, Bonawentura, Jarema, Kosma, Kuba (formerly only a diminutive of Jakub, nowadays also a given name on its own) and Saba. Maria (given name), Maria is a female name that can be used also as a second name for males.
