    In German they have “Warschau” which coincidentally also is the name of the capital in Poland, however it comes from shipping industry and to my knowledge is a shorter version of “War nehmen und schauen” which roughly translates to “hey, look at me”. I might be wrong, but that’s what I’ve heard.

    Edit: typo 😅

      which confidently also is the name of the capital in Poland

      Contrary to Krakow, which was never very confident and is therefore no longer the capital of Poland.
