Hungarian, Polish

Kinga Origin and Meaning

The name Kinga is a girl's name of Hungarian, Slavic, Polish origin meaning "brave".

Though the name Kinga has penetrated the international consciousness via the Slovakian model Kinga Rajzak, it's a rare choice for American baby girls: Only six were named Kinga last year. Is that because Kinga sounds like pseudo-royalty, ala Princessa? Though with names such as Reign and Royal rising through the ranks, the time-honored Kinga may see more widespread usage.
