Wojciech ([ˈvɔi̯t͡ɕɛx] is a Polish given name equivalent to Czech Vojtěch ([ˈvɔi̯cɛx]) Slovak Vojtech and German Woitke. Wojciech is one of the oldest Slavic names. The name is formed from Polish wój (Slavic: voj) – a root pertaining to war which also forms Polish words like wojownik meaning warrior and wojna meaning war – and ciech (from an earlier form tech) meaning joy with the resulting combination meaning the joy of war or smiling warrior.
