Origin and meaning of Ignacy
Ignacy is the Polish form of Ignatius, from the Latin Ignatius, later linked by folk etymology to ignis, 'fire,' hence the sense 'fiery, ardent.' Spread through the cult of Saint Ignatius of Loyola, founder of the Jesuits, it is an old, solemn, distinctly Polish name. In Poland it is worn with pride in memory of great national figures in music and science, while elsewhere it remains rare.
