Kuba

Kuba is the Polish diminutive of Jakub, which is the equivalent to Jacob or James in English. Meaning 'supplanter', it's a name with biblical roots thanks to Jacob's story in the Hebrew Bible. In Poland, Kuba is a very popular and affectionate alternative to the formal Jakub, often used as a standalone name due to its friendly and approachable feel. While it hasn't gained much popularity outside of Poland, Kuba's simplicity and charm make it an appealing choice for parents seeking something familiar yet distinctive.
