Did you know that in Poland many ladies have a beautiful and unique name Hortensia? They celebrate their name day on January 11. It is an old Roman female name, derived from the male form Hortensius. Hortensius was the name of the ancient Roman Hortensius family. Thus, the name Hortensia means a girl from this family. The name of the family, in turn, derives from the Latin word hortus, meaning "garden" (hortensius - "gardener").
