Origin & history of Lech1
Slavic / Polish roots
Lech is one of the most quintessentially Polish boys names, from the legendary figure Lech, the mythological founder of the Polish nation. According to the medieval Slavic legend of the Three Brothers, Lech, Czech, and Rus were three brothers who founded the three great Slavic nations — Poland (Lech), Bohemia/Czech Republic (Czech), and Russia (Rus). Lech founded the city of Gniezno (the first capital of Poland) after seeing a white eagle nesting in a tree — the white eagle becoming the national symbol of Poland. The word Lechici came to refer to the Polish people themselves. In Polish history, the name has carried supreme national significance — Lech Wałęsa was the leader of the Solidarity trade union movement that brought down communism in Poland, winning the Nobel Peace Prize in 1983 and serving as President of Poland (1990-1995). Lech Kaczyński was the President of Poland (2005-2010) who tragically died in the Smolensk plane crash. In modern Polish naming, Lech has been a steady classic with profound patriotic significance. Polish parents are drawn to Lech for its mythological national founding heritage.
