Juwenalis / Juvenal / Juvenalis

Juwenalis is the Polish form of the Roman cognomen Juvenalis. The name is derived from the Latin word 'juvenalis', meaning 'youthful' or 'belonging to youth'. It was also associated with the Roman goddess Juno, as 'juvenalis' could also mean 'devoted to Juno'. The most famous bearer of this name was the Roman satirist Decimus Iunius Iuvenalis, known in English as Juvenal, who lived in the late 1st and early 2nd centuries AD. His works provided a vivid, if often cynical, look at Roman society.
