What Trojan means
Where Trojan comes from and what it has meant to the people who carry it.
Trojan is a Slavic name whose short meaning reaches back to a city on the Aegean coast: an inhabitant of Troy. The Polish word `Troja` names that ancient place, and Trojan reads as someone who belongs to it. A classical sense rests on a Slavic frame.
The name has a documented life in old writing. The Tale of Igor's Campaign, an East Slavic poem from the late twelfth century, names a figure called Troyan. Readers have argued for centuries whether that Troyan was a god of the old tribes, a Roman emperor, or a stretch of land.
Trojan carries no diminutive. On a Polish class register it would stand by itself, no shorter form beside it, its meaning still fixed as the inhabitant of Troy.
When Trojan celebrates name day
Trojan appears 1 time in the Polish name day calendar, never as a main name. The first of these dates is 10 February.
Rarer dates. Only the most complete calendars add this name on these days. Most skip them, so hardly anyone celebrates then.
