According to legend, the name derives from the first ruler of Poland, [[Lech, Czech, and Rus| Lech]]. See [[name of Poland]] and [[Lechites]] for details. It is also the root of the term ''[[Lechitic languages]], [[Silesia]], [[Leszno]] and [[Legnica]]''. Historical west border names are komonly known as [[Limes Sorabicus]] and [[Limes Saxoniae]]. |
|||
Several Polish sports organizations have adopted the name ''Lechia''. The best-known example is [[Lechia Gdańsk]]. Other examples include [[Lechia Lwów]] and [[Lechia Zielona Góra]]. In the [[People's Republic of Poland]], the [[Nivea]] branch located in [[Poznań]] was named the Pollena-Lechia Cosmetics Factory (''Fabryka Kosmetyków Pollena-Lechia''). |
