Zigmunt is a unique and distinctive male given name of Polish origin, derived from the Germanic element 'sigu' meaning 'victory'. It was popularized by prominent figures such as Zigmunt III Vasa, the King of Poland and Grand Duke of Lithuania during the 17th century. Despite its historical usage, Zigmunt remains relatively uncommon today, perhaps contributing to its distinctive charm.
"Zigmunt experienced a peak in popularity during World War I, with the highest number of births occurring in 1917. However, its usage declined sharply after the war, with fewer than 10 births recorded annually from 1920 onwards."
