Hi:

My name is Waleska and I am a Puerto Rican. When I moved to the USA 3 years ago people started asking about my name. I did a little bit of research on line and found out that it is Polish. I am not Polish nor do I have Polish family. My dad wanted to give me a different name and for some reason he liked this one.

Can anyone tell me if it is in fact Polish and if it is, does it have a meaning?

Thank you,
Waleska

Hi!I have never heard such a name in Poland.I know no Polish girl with this name. If it exists, (I am not sure) it is not used in Poland.

It's a feminine form of a Polish surname and the proper spelling is Walewska.

Pron: va-lehv-skah

I don't know what it means but apparently there was a Countess Walewska...

There is a dish called Sole [the fish] Walewska. At least that's what it's called in Sweden.
