[Facts] Re: Wojdan?
in reply to a message by LH
It's funny: If I tell Google to search for pages with that given name that do *not* contain the family name of the athlete (in about 5 different spellings...), nothing is left - as if that given name did not exist before this Wojdan went to the Olympics.Using Latin letters to write something from Arabic is always quite tricky, and so Wojdan may be just a very unusual transliteration / transcription of something that is quite common. A search for Wjdan, without the "o" then, gives quite a number of people who write their name this way in Latin script. But, first Wjdan looks strange to me, and second I could not find anything about that name either...
