In his conversation with "Gazeta Wyborcza" the politician mentioned that he had quite a few respect for his father. - I was afraid of my father, he beat me. It wasn't standard. I can't say with good effect, due to the fact that force never does. All my friends got hit, but my father could beat a small more and more.

Francis - a name associated with freedom
Francis is simply a very popular name for a child. No wonder he's the top kid's names ranking. It is beautiful, classical, with a rich tradition and history. Many people associate with love, respect and freedom, due to the mention to Saint Francis of Assisi.
In Poland, this name has been utilized since the 18th century, which was contributed by the canonization of St Francis and the cult of his person. However, it is more common among the older generation, but it now returns to grace. In 2024 it was given to 4574 boys, which is simply a very large number compared to erstwhile years (e.g. in 2000 these broadcasts were only 248).
