Afrodyta
From Greek, meaning "risen from the sea foam". Fewer than 150 women in Poland carry it, so most people have never met one. Two newborn girls got it last year, more than the register had logged in earlier years.

What Afrodyta means
Where Afrodyta comes from and what it has meant to the people who carry it.
Afrodyta comes into Polish directly from Greek, from Aphrodite, the goddess of love. Ancient writers tied that name to aphros, the Greek word for sea foam, which is how it came to mean risen from the sea foam. Hesiod tells that story. In his account the goddess takes shape in the water and comes ashore already grown.
In Poland the name stays rare. A girl named Afrodyta learns young that the class register will hold no second one. The spelling sits close to the Greek, with an f where Latin would write ph, so Aphrodite becomes Afrodyta on Polish documents.
A mythic name can sit heavy on a small child. Yet the meaning itself is plain: born of the foam that gathers where waves break. That is what a bearer keeps under the four syllables, the sense of something risen from the sea foam.
