Mamuka
The name reads as "little father", an oddly tender thing to call a man. Just over a thousand men in Poland carry it and no boys are given it now, so most Poles have never met one.

What Mamuka means
Where Mamuka comes from and what it has meant to the people who carry it.
Mamuka is a Georgian name. It belongs to men of the Caucasus, and it reaches Polish name lists from far outside the Slavic world. Its origin is filed under other, an honest label for a name that arrives without local roots. The short meaning recorded for it is little father, mały ojciec.
That reading, little father, sits on the name as an affectionate gloss rather than a documented first root. The tenderness in it fits how such names often work in family speech. In Georgia the name is common enough to belong to public figures. Mamuka Bakhtadze served as the country's prime minister between 2018 and 2019.
Picture it read out once from a Polish class register, a single foreign entry among the Piotrs and Anias. It would stand out again on the official form at the urząd. The name has no Polish diminutive of its own, so it stays as Mamuka, its meaning still little father.
