Origin & history of Witold1
Slavic / Lithuanian / Polish roots
Witold is the Polish form of the Lithuanian Vytautas — a compound from Old Lithuanian-Slavic meaning seer of the people or ruler-witness. The name was borne by Vytautas the Great (Witold the Great in Polish), the legendary fourteenth-fifteenth century Grand Duke of Lithuania who, alongside his cousin King Wladyslaw II Jagiello of Poland, led the combined Polish-Lithuanian forces to victory over the Teutonic Knights at the Battle of Grunwald in 1410 — one of the most important military victories in Polish-Lithuanian history. The Witold spelling is the Polish form, with the characteristic Polish W (pronounced V). The name has been used in Polish naming for centuries with strong patriotic associations. In modern Polish history, Witold Pilecki (1901-1948) was a Polish resistance hero who voluntarily entered Auschwitz concentration camp to gather intelligence about Nazi atrocities — one of the greatest heroes of Polish World War II resistance. Polish parents are drawn to Witold for its profound Polish-Lithuanian heritage, connection to Vytautas the Great and Witold Pilecki, and strong distinctly Polish historical character.
