Begench
The name carries the sense of "joy, happiness". Only about a hundred men in Poland use it, and no boy has been given it since the records begin in 2000: most Poles will never meet one.

What Begench means
Where Begench comes from and what it has meant to the people who carry it.
Begench comes from Turkmen, where the everyday word "begenç" means joy or gladness. The name stands outside the Slavic stock that fills most Polish registers. It points east, toward Central Asia and the Turkic languages of Turkmenistan. A person can be named directly after the feeling of delight.
In Poland the name arrives as a guest. It travels with work and marriage, and it reaches the clerk at the urząd with its meaning unchanged. On the form the short gloss reads plainly: radość, szczęście. There are no Polish diminutives for it, no home-grown variants, nothing the language has softened or shortened.
The ending stays soft.
Nobody has to translate it. Begench still means what begenç means in Turkmen: joy.
