I imagine he's talking about poĊ‚udnie in Polish.

South in French is sud, while noon is indeed midi. However, the two words are the same in Latin (meridies, lit. midday, as in p.m. = post meridiem, etc.), so probably in some of the other Romance languages they do match?

Midi is also a word for south in French, colloquially.
