Virginie
Only about 38 women in Poland carry it, so most Poles will never meet one, and no girl has been given it in years. French in use, from a Latin word for "maiden".
Virginie Pronunciation
What Virginie means
Where Virginie comes from and what it has meant to the people who carry it.
Virginie is the French form of a Latin name, and its root sits in the Roman family name Verginius. That family name came first. The sense of "maiden, virgin" attached itself later, once people heard the Latin word virgo inside the sound. So the meaning grew out of a resemblance rather than out of the founding gens.
French readers know the name from Paul et Virginie, the 1788 novel by Bernardin de Saint-Pierre. Virginie is the heroine, a girl raised on Mauritius who drowns in a shipwreck because she will not shed her heavy dress to swim ashore. The book was a sensation across Europe, and it fixed the name in French taste for a long stretch afterward.
In a Polish class register, Virginie reads as plainly French, a borrowing with no home-grown form beside it. It keeps the French spelling, and it has no Polish diminutive. The short meaning stays simple: maiden, virgin.
