What Honoriusz means
Where Honoriusz comes from and what it has meant to the people who carry it.
Honoriusz comes straight from Latin, from honos or honor, the word Romans used for public esteem and the respect a community owed a person. To a Roman it meant standing, the visible regard of others. The name turned that quality into someone you could call by name.
History gives it real bearers. Flavius Honorius ruled the Western Roman Empire from 393 to 423, a child emperor whose reign saw Rome sacked in 410. Later the name passed into the Church, where several popes took it, among them Honorius I in the seventh century. The Latin sense of honour went with each of them.
In Polish the name reads as cześć, godność, honor. It is a weighty word to hand a small person. On a class register, Honoriusz stands out among the Jakubs and Antonis, formal and unmistakable. The name-day calendar lists him too. The meaning stays close to the surface: honour, esteem, plainly Latin.
When Honoriusz celebrates name day
Honoriusz appears 2 times in the Polish name day calendar, never as a main name. The first of these dates is 24 April.
