The name Kania
It's my friend's middle name. It's Polish and apparently means 'lark'. It's pronounced 'Kan-ye'. Does anyone have any more information on it? I haven't been able to find any info on it as a name, but I found some about it as being a portobello mushroom!

All I found is:
Variant of KANJA, Russian short form of various first names.Wilfried Seibicke: Historisches Deutsches Vornamenbuch I-IV, 2000 ff.He cites:Petrovskij, N(ikander) A(leksandrovic), 1980: Slovar’ russkih licnih imen [Dictionary of Russian First Names]. 2. ed., Moskau [1 ed. 1966]So maybe someone who has access to this book, can help you.
