Jacenty is Polish in Origin.

Jacenty is a traditional Polish masculine name from Late Latin Hyacinthus, ultimately Greek Hyákinthos - the mythic youth whose blood birthed the hyacinth. The meaning is “hyacinth,” evoking the spring flower and, by extension, constancy and remembrance. Through medieval Christian usage it entered Polish naming, appearing frequently in parish records from the 16th to 19th centuries. Today it feels archaic, largely displaced in everyday use by Jacek, a pet form that became standard, though it sees occasional heritage-minded revival.

Polish variants include Jacek and the ecclesiastical Hiacynt; a rarer archival form is Jacent. Cognates abroad are Hyacinth/Hyacinthe (English/French), Giacinto (Italian), Jacinto (Spanish/Portuguese), and Jácint (Hungarian). Feminine counterparts are Jacinta (Spanish/Portuguese) and Hiacynta/Hyacinthe. The name resonates in Poland via Saint Hyacinth (Święty Jacek) of the 13th century, anchoring traditional name days around mid-August.
