Vahe
From Old Persian, where it carried the sense of "good". Only 89 men in Poland go by it, and no boys have been given it lately, so most Poles will never meet one.

What Vahe means
Where Vahe comes from and what it has meant to the people who carry it.
Vahe is a man's name from Armenia. Its root reaches back to Old Persian vahu, meaning "good". Polish name books gloss it differently, as silny, odważny, strong and brave. That reading came later. The oldest sense is plainer and warmer.
The name has a documented bearer. Vahe I ruled Armenia in the fourth century BC, the last king of the Orontid line. Tradition holds he died resisting Alexander of Macedon. His name kept its currency long after his reign closed.
Vahe carries no diminutives or variants in the records given here. It stays as it is, Va-he, two syllables and no Polish ending to soften it.
Picture a class register in Warsaw with the name written plainly. To a Polish ear it reads as foreign and clear at once. The link back to Old Persian vahu, "good", stays legible under the later gloss of silny, odważny.
