in reply to a message by ADT
It's a Polish friend's middle name. It's pronounced like Kanye I believe.

Have you tried asking your friend?
If you're sure that it is a name then it must be a nickname.

On ancestry.com I found
Kania
Polish and Jewish (Ashkenazic): Polish nickname or Jewish ornamental name, from Polish kania ‘kite’.

I really don't think so...
Kite in Polish is "latawiec" --> la-tah-vye-ets

Interesting On one of the online translaters I got this result
for Kite,
jastrz¹b, latawiec, kania, weksel grzecznoœciowy, p³yn¹æ w powietrzu, lataæ jak latawiec, zdzierca
on another I put in Kania and got Kite
Having searched them I thought the information might be relevant oh well guess I shouldnt trust on line translators

I just spoke to my mom and she had an answer.
Kania is NOT a first name. It's a last name. And, it's a type of mushroom. Definitely not a kite.

Every language usually has several words for the same thing
So you're both correct. My best friend is actually from Poland (moved here at 14) and said she HAS heard the word "kania" before.
