Meaning and history
Jagoda is a Polish, Croatian, Serbian, and other Slavic feminine name taken from a word meaning “berry”; in some languages or contexts it can refer especially to a strawberry. It belongs to a wider Slavic tradition of plant and nature names. The exact berry association varies by language, so “strawberry” is not universal. Notable bearers include Croatian actor Jagoda Kaloper and Polish beach-volleyball player Jagoda Gruszczyńska. The name retains its standard Slavic spelling.
