Help[Facts] Re: Coryan
in reply to a message by Trio-Leo
How is it pronounced?
And do you know what country/countries the Romani friend's family were living in?
It makes a difference because this probably isn't a strictly Romani name. There's no "c" in Romani except when it's "ch", though sometimes a "c" is written to mean a sound like "ts".
There are also no obvious root words or diminutives here, which Romani names have if they aren't the Romani form of a name from another language.
Goryan is an Indian last name (and some places in India have this name too) so it's possible the two are connected.
