Greek at root, meaning "dedicated to Isis", the Egyptian goddess. It's a genuine newcomer in Poland: most people here have never met one, but a small run of girls has been given it in the past few years, and the numbers are climbing.

What Taisia means
Where Taisia comes from and what it has meant to the people who carry it.
Taisia comes from Greek, from the old name Thaïs, and it traveled east into Russian and Ukrainian speech long before it reached Poland. The variant Taisa runs alongside it, shorter by a syllable and just as current. Both forms are still given.
The meaning recorded for it is "dedicated to Isis." Isis was the Egyptian goddess whom Greek speakers honored widely, and the sense of dedication to her was read into the name later, once scholars traced its roots. So the meaning is an interpretation laid over an old Greek word, not a label its first bearers would have used.
Saint Thaïs, a repentant figure of the Egyptian desert, carried an early form of the name and kept it alive in Orthodox tradition. That is why it settled so firmly among Russian and Ukrainian families.
In a Polish class register today, Taisia sits among the Zofias and Lenas, a Greek arrival with an Egyptian goddess behind it.
