Genealogy / the name jowita...does it mean anying...? [95]

Do you mean, was she fat? yes.

Or do you mean, did I go out with her to make me look thinner? NO!!!!! lol

I meant to ask whether you went out with her because that made you look thinner ;)

My reply to her was even better, but I'm not posting it on here! haha! :)

Please do!

Jova I hope you get used to the english sense of humour:) we can be pretty sick at times but we love each other really:)

I love the English sense of humour. I even wrote a paper on sarcasm and irony in the sketches of Monty Python :D so I'm kind of professionally prepared :D

But some feminine words (I don't know about names) end with consonants.

99% of Polish female names end in 'a' - the only exception I know being "Inez" or "Ines" - apparently not deeply rooted in the Polish language, though.

There is a much stronger tendency in English for names to change from being male names to female names. I could give examples, but I'd rather ask about the same thing happening with Polish names.

If it happens to Polish names, they are usually modified by adding some female suffixes, e.g. Marian - Marianna, Ryszard - Ryszarda etc., which makes my name even more bizarre.

Where in Poland do you come from?? or am i wide of the mark and you now live in the States or the UK, your english seems very polished to me

I live in Gdańsk. Thx for complimenting my English - as a fifth year student of so called English Philology I have no other option but to speak the language fairly fluently ;)

Well, it USED to be a man's name! Not anymore :) There's a Polish film "Jowita" - from the 60s if I'm not mistaken... And it's named after a female character!

That's my name, actually... I've lived in this world for some time already but so far I've not been successful in finding a satisfactory answer to the question of the meaning/origin of my name. Once I came across an article claiming that Jowita was originally a man's name (there was some male saint Jowita). It's generally a rather rare name in Poland, not mentioned in books devoted to origins and meanings of names. BTW, wildrower, why do you want to know?
