Lechites (Polish: Lechici) – an ethnic and linguistic group of West Slavs, the ancestors of modern Poles and the historical Pomeranians and Polabians. Historically, the term Wends (Latin: Venedi, Venedae) was similar in meaning, though it sometimes referred only to West Slavs within the Holy Roman Empire. However, Mieszko I, the first historical ruler of Poland, also appears "as Dagome, King of Wends" (Old Norse: Vindakonungr).
