The name Aleksandra means 'protector of mankind' but Ola is a common nickname used in Poland without any meaning. Where does the name come from? Is it a deviated translation of some sort?
What is the origin of the name Ola, the short Polish name for Aleksandra?
I have a male friend from Sweden named Ola.
As a male name, Ola is the Norwegian and Swedish variant of Olaf., "ancestor" or "descendant".
As a female name, Ola is the Polish short form of Aleksandra, "defender of mankind".

Reply:In Russian Ola is a short version of Olga,
that name came from Scandinavia, with vikings...
Alexandra is a female form of Greek Name Alexander...
the "defender of men"...
In Russia they use short forms: "Sasha, Alia, Shura"
for the name Alexandra.
