At different times, the name Polina attracted parents of girls with its euphony, evoking peace and tranquility. Being quite old, it never disappeared from use.
The history of its origin is quite contradictory. Some experts believe that Polina is a complete independent name, since the Greek “poly” means “many.” Therefore, Polina is “meaningful.” Others attribute the name to derivatives of the French Paulina (Peacock), that is, “small,” and still others agree that Polina is a shortened form of Apollonia or Apollinaria. In the Russian version, the colloquial Polinaria is more common, which is translated from Greek as “liberated.”
Although over the centuries-old history of the church calendar the list of names has expanded significantly, neither Polina, nor Paulina, nor Apollonia, nor Polinaria are on it. The fact is that Polina in Rus' was called Apollinaria or Pelageya. It is these names that are in the calendar. If the girl is still too young to make her own choice at baptism, then the parents will have to decide. Both names are of Greek origin and have enormous internal energy.
Apollinaria – dedicated to Apollo
Since the name comes from the golden-haired Sun God - Apollo, and Apollinaris means belonging to Apollo, Apollinaria can also be interpreted as “belonging to Apollo”, “solar”. Apollinaria, as a rule, does not have a meek disposition, which is often predicted for a girl named Polina. As a child, she is cheerful and responsive, loves to participate in the affairs of adults and expects praise and recognition of her merits from them. In adulthood, she is a woman of high intelligence, hardworking and devoted to her work and family. By temperament type - choleric. Touchy, but not vindictive. Doesn't tolerate pressure.
If during the baptismal ceremony Polina is named Apollinaria, then she will be patronized by:
- Saint Apollinaria, whose feast day falls on April 4;
- holy martyr Apollinaria (Tupitsina), sentenced to death on October 13, 1937 for belonging to a church group;
- Venerable Apollinaria, who was the daughter of Anthemius, ruler of the Greek Empire. For a long time she hid under a man's monastic robe and bore the name Dorotheus. Saint Remembrance Day is celebrated on the eve of Epiphany, January 18.
Pelageya - “sea”
The name owes its appearance to the Greek Pelagios, which in the female version sounds like Pelagia - “sea”. It is identical to Marina, which is of Latin origin. Perhaps Polina and Pelageya may not seem like ideally consonant names to some, but in Christianity Polina is often baptized with the name Pelageya. In addition, the names of revered holy martyrs and venerable martyrs with this name abound:
- On April 5, the holy martyr Pelagia is venerated;
- May 17 - Pelagia of Tarsus;
- June 26 - Venerable Martyr Pelagia (Zhidko);
- June 30 - Pelagia (Balakireva);
- October 21 - holy martyr Pelagia of Antioch, who was a student of the hieromartyr Lucian of Antioch, and Pelagia of Antioch of Palestine;
- November 3 - Venerable Martyr Pelagia (Testova);
- February 12 - Pelagia Diveevskaya.
Despite the fact that others “hear” balance in the gentle name Polina, women who wear it often have a choleric character and are unable to restrain internal tension for a long time. The girl, named Pelageya, is phlegmatic at first glance, but with age her tolerance also comes to an end. “Sunny” or “sea” Polina is decent, modest, but impulsive.
When is Polina's name day according to the church calendar?: January 18 – Venerable Apollinaria, who labored in male form.
Characteristics of Polina's birthday boy:
From the ancient Greek language - an independent form of the Greek name Apollinaria, which means “belonging to Apollo.”

But at the same time, she is a loyal friend, you can trust her with secrets, she is responsive and selfless. He may be too direct in communication, saying what he thinks, although calmly, but still forgetting to soften impartial statements. However, she is also very critical of herself.
Polina does not feel any particular need to work. If she is an actress, artist, writer - for her life is creativity. In other professions, she is calm, but conscientious. She loves children and knows how to find a common language with them, so it would be good for her to become a teacher, a kindergarten teacher. But she can also be a good doctor and nurse.
Polina does not separate sex from love. At the same time, she is very sexy and sensitive, although she wears a mask of indifference. She doesn’t like all men, and it’s quite difficult to meet her ideal. She is very caring in the family, but is cold towards household matters.

Characteristics and meaning of the name
The female name Apollinaria came to us from Ancient Rome. It was formed from the male name Apollinaris (in Latin Apollinaris), which in turn was formed from the name of the god Apollo, the god of the arts, light and prediction. This means that the female name means “belonging to Apollo”, “dedicated to Apollo”. Along with this version, there is an opinion that the name could have been formed from the words polyusis (“liberated”) or polis (“urban”).
Apollinaria is an interesting personality, characterized by responsiveness, care and kindness. Her personal qualities are formed at an early age and do not change with age. Apollinaria is a very vulnerable and sensitive nature. She reacts sharply to criticism and remarks addressed to her, believing that she was reproached and insulted by this. He does everything he does diligently and diligently, expecting that those around him will appreciate it.
Apollinaria cannot be called “white and fluffy.” If anyone dares to offend her or her loved ones, she will stand up without hesitation. In this situation, she can be tough and cruel. He is a very vindictive person and finds reconciliation difficult. She is quite capricious; pressure cannot achieve anything from her. But there is one secret. In order for her to meet you halfway, you need to be affectionate and kind with her. She feels inspired when she feels warmth and care from those around her.
Apollinaria always acts with her characteristic impulsiveness. Her decisions always depend on her mood. However, she is particularly disciplined and meticulous. It can be described as obligatory and organized. Communication with her can be very difficult at times. Due to her pedantry, excessive decency and punctuality, some consider her a bore.
Apollinaria has a large number of friends, whom she treats with reverence and care. She will always offer her help. She perceives her friends' problems as her own and, with all her inherent responsibility, tries to solve them.
Polina is an excellent performer at work. The management values such a reliable employee for his commitment and responsibility. She will become a good and competent specialist - psychologist, teacher, social worker.
Family occupies a special place in Apollinaria’s life, although she is not ready to sacrifice work for the sake of family. She manages to perfectly combine both family and profession. For her husband, she will be a wife, a lover, and a friend, provided that they completely trust each other. If she finds out about her husband’s infidelity, she will divorce without regret. Polina is a caring mother, even too much. She will keep the lives of children, even adults, under control. At home she is a wonderful housewife, with everything in its place. An atmosphere of comfort, warmth and trust reigns in her home.
Patrons of the name
One of the three patroness of the name was Saint Apollinaria (Dorotheos), daughter of King Anphelios. The girl flatly refused to get married because she wanted to devote her life to God. At first the father was against it, but in the end he accepted his daughter’s choice and wanted to send her to a monastery. Before that, she went to Jerusalem and wanted to visit holy places. She distributed all the gold and silver that her parents gave her to those in need. She set free all the slaves accompanying her. On the way to the monastery, her retinue stopped for the night. At night, she changed into monastic robes and hid in a swamp, where she lived as a hermit for the next 7 years. The Lord protected Apollinaria and helped her. One day an Angel came to her and ordered her to go to the monastery under the male name Dorotheus. Apollinaria obeyed unquestioningly. At the monastery, monk Dorotheus was celebrated with strict fasting and prayers. For this she began to have the gift of healing. In the guise of Dorofey, she even came to her home and healed her sister. The parents recognized their daughter, but did not say a word. They understood the fate and feat that Apollinaria was performing for them. Only after his death did everyone realize that Dorotheus was actually a woman.
The martyr Apollinaria Tupitsyna (1878 - 1937) is known in Russian history. Until 1917, she lived in the Volgograd region and served as a nurse. Then she began wandering around the country, spending a lot of time at services in different churches. She earned her living by doing laundry, cleaning, and babysitting. In 1937, she was slandered and arrested. She was considered a counter-revolutionary and was shot.

There are 2 versions of the appearance of this beautiful and sonorous name in our language:
- According to the first version, the roots of the name go back to distant Ancient Greece. It is believed that Polina is short for Apollinaria, the female version of the name Apollinaris - dedicated to Apollo. God Apollo was the sun god, patron of the arts. Based on this theory, we can safely say that Polina means “belonging to Apollo”, “solar”.
- According to the second version, the name Polina is of French origin, the female version of the name Paul. It is based on the Latin "paulus" - "baby", "small". Therefore, the name Polina also has the meaning “small”.
Today the name Polina is very popular in Russia and invariably occupies a leading position in the rankings of popular names. The name has a harmonious and melodic sound and easy pronunciation.
Little Polina is a charming, kind and flexible girl. She is smart, active, and loves to help her mother. Studying is easy for her, as she diligently completes all assignments. Likes to take part in extracurricular activities. Polly always has many friends to whom she is always ready to help. Parents should not miss the moment and help so that the girl does not lose her responsiveness and kindness.
Polina becomes a charming and sweet woman. She is sociable and feels great in any society, where she can calmly talk on any topic. In appearance, Polina seems absolutely calm and balanced, but inside she is a vulnerable and sensual person. She has such a quality as selflessness. For her, the most important thing is attention, because it can be any given trinket.
Positive character traits of Porlyusica include empathy and compassion. She is always ready to help someone in need, and always looks for excuses for people’s bad actions. Character traits that complicate her life include straightforwardness. She always says everything to her face, even the bitter truth, without even trying to soften it in any way. Polina is intolerant of stupid and ill-mannered people, treating them with a degree of disdain. She considers herself an intellectual, and strives to surround herself only with equally intelligent people.
Polina has an explosive temperament. She immediately splashes out all the accumulated negative emotions and does not accumulate them in herself. In disputes, she always loses, since she is unable to present compelling arguments in her favor. Polya is critical of herself, but this does not stop her from pretending to be arrogant and indifferent at times. Many women named Polina sometimes suffer from causeless fears and anxieties and are prone to the blues. Sometimes she starts digging and finding fault with herself, which can lead her to depression. In life, Polina is a realist who is not characterized by sentimentality.
Polinochka does not use her intuition, since it is poorly developed. Her moods can range from excessive seriousness to uncontrollable joy. She rarely trusts people, preferring to rely only on herself.
Polina is a spectacular and attractive person who prefers coziness and comfort in everything. Along with her mood, her desires quickly change. At first she wants to communicate with everyone at once and shows excessive activity, and then suddenly she wants to run away from everyone and be alone. But it is in solitude that she restores her vital energy and peace of mind. In general, Polina has a rich and interesting life, but it is very difficult due to her flighty and changeable character.
Patrons of the name
Little Polina's parents can choose an Orthodox name for her at baptism: Apollinaria or Pelagia.
Pelagia Antioch (Palestinian)
Before Pelagia became a Christian believer, she lived in Syria and led a riotous and dissolute lifestyle. One day Bishop Nonnus saw her in open clothes and in the company of young men. In secret, he began to pray for the libertine. A week later he saw her at a sermon and told her about the fate of sinners. After Pelagia decided to accept Christianity and atone for her sins. She sold everything she had and gave it to the bishop for those in need. Afterwards she put on men's clothing and took monastic vows in a monastery in Jerusalem. She spent all her days in prayer and kept the strictest fast. Only at the burial did everyone find out that she was a woman.
Saint Apollinaria (Dorotheus)
From childhood, Apollinaria decided to devote herself to God and resisted all her parents’ attempts to marry her off. Her parents loved her very much and accepted her choice, sending her to a monastery. One day, on the way to the holy places, Apollinaria ran away, dressed in men's clothing. She lived in a swamp for 3 years, and after the Lord appeared to her, she went to a monastery under the male name Dorotheus and began to possess the gift of healing. Only after his death did it become clear that Dorotheus was a woman, and he was canonized as Apollinaria.
