Pola

Pola is a girl's baby name of Polish origin, a Polish diminutive of Apolonia or Apollonia, derived from the Greek god Apollo, meaning approximately 'of Apollo' or 'destroyer.' Pola Negri, the Polish-born silent film actress who became one of Hollywood's first international superstars in the 1920s, is the name's most glamorous historical bearer.

Pola carries the vintage Hollywood glamour of the silent film era — a name that evokes black-and-white photography, fur coats, and the exotic European mystique that captivated American audiences in the 1920s. It has a crisp, European elegance that feels both historical and surprisingly fresh today.
