ArchivesRe: Militza etymology

Right on.
The glossary says that when Slavic names, like Milica, are represented in the Latin alphabet of English, they are transcribed, which can result in multiple spellings for a single name depending on the transcription. For example the Cyrillic Дмитрий can be rendered Dmitriy, Dmitri, or Dmitrii.
Militza appears to be a variant, more phonetical transcription of Milica; they're the same name.
