Annotation:  The paper attempts at studying and classifying romance loans in the modern Polish language. The Romance component is organic for the Polish culture in the context of religious, historical and genetic linkages of the Polish with the romance-speaking people. That, undoubtedly, finds reflection at all the levels of Polish language both in synchronous and in diachronic aspects. Special attention should be paid to the study of this issue in the sociolinguistic context, because the expansion of the Romance element affected Polish language in particular and Polish culture in general. The tradition of borrowing Romanesque cultural facts is characteristic of Polish culture today. This fact is reflected not only in lively speech and scientific language, but also in the fiction. It is important to note here that the borrowing of the Romance elements could occur both directly and with the help of intermediary languages (among these, it is especially important to distinguish German and Czech languages). It is also noteworthy that the Romance vocabulary was expanded into Polish language both by direct borrowing and by way of calculating. In particular, examples of tracing paper are a number of personal names of Latin origin, retaining the Latin phonetic appearance, but inclined according to the rules of Polish grammar
