How is Sanja quote: 'Sanya coming from the Slavic word for "sleep" is a naive etymology'?
How is it naive if something has a literal word meaning in another language (please note that I never mentioned Bulgarian with Sanja or that Sonja meant 'to sleep')? I would think that the original poster would like to know if the name is a word name in another language.

Also I have never seen Sanya or Sanja as a nickname for Alexandra mentioned anywhere (and I have been looking, seeing as it's my name).
I have also never found a Sanja that wasn't from ex-Yugoslavia (or had parents from there) and would like to know where else it's used.
Could you please tell me where you got this information and if the source is reliable?
