Polish (and I think most Slavic languages) are broken in the Southern Hemisphere. The words for "north" and "south" are identical to the words for "midnight" and "noon" respectively. The idea is that the direction is where the sun is at that time.

Similar to French that uses "midi" as synonym for South. But at the end, I don't think that matters much. People just use words without thinking much on their origin.
