Alevtyna
Greek for "truth", it reached Poland mainly through the Ukrainian community. Only about 540 women here carry it, so most Poles have never met one.

What Alevtyna means
Where Alevtyna comes from and what it has meant to the people who carry it.
Alevtyna reaches Polish and Ukrainian families from Greek, and its short meaning is truth. The Greek word aletheia names that same idea, what remains once concealment falls away. Whether the name descends straight from that word is debated among etymologists, though the association with truth is the one Ukrainian speakers have kept closest to it.
The name is Ukrainian in feeling, and it travels without a crowd. It has no listed diminutives, no variants, no cross-gender twin to lean on. A child called Alevtyna is handed the full form and nothing shorter.
On a Polish form at the urząd, the name is written out complete, letter by letter. Say it once. Behind those letters sits a Greek word for truth, which Polish renders as prawda.
