Azamat
The name carries the sense of "majesty" and "glory". In Poland it stays rare: around 350 people hold it, nearly all of them men, and not a single boy was given it last year.

What Azamat means
Where Azamat comes from and what it has meant to the people who carry it.
Azamat is not a Polish name by birth. It reaches a Polish register from the east, brought by Turkic and Caucasian families, and it turns up today from Kazakhstan to the Kabardian villages of the Caucasus. Name references trace it to the Arabic ʿaẓama, the root behind al-ʿAẓīm, one of the ninety-nine names of God. The Polish glosses follow straight from that: dostojeństwo, chwała. Majesty and glory.
The sense grew closer to home over time. In modern Kazakh, azamat is also an ordinary word for a citizen, a worthy young man, so the grandeur of the origin sits beside something plainer and civic. A boy called Azamat answers both meanings at once.
Real bearers keep it in the present. Azamat Sydykov, born 1986, is a Kyrgyz concert pianist, and Azamat Satybaldy works as a Kazakh actor and presenter. On a Polish class register the name would stand out among the Kacpers and Szymons, five letters, easy enough to read aloud. The meaning holds where it began: dostojeństwo, chwała.
