Dzenita and Dzula
Both feminine names. Dzenita is from Croatia, Dzula is from Bosnia (Gypsy, though, not Bosnian - she makes that clear.) Both are pronounced with a j sound. Any idea on the meanings? Izita is Dzula's daughter, I'm also curious on her name.

This is what I managed to find:
Džula or Đula (original spelling):
Dula, f.
Persian 'gul' (meaning: flower)
Dženita / Đenita (originally Dženeta):
Dzeneta, f.
Arabic 'ğanna' (meaning: garden, heaven)
Both Dzula and Dzeneta are strictly Muslim names in Bosnia and Croatia.

Thanks.
That's rather interesting tidbit - neither are Muslim. Hmm. Both were born in those areas as well.

Do you know what religion are they? And how old are they?
