Re: The name Kania
in reply to a message by jenisis
All I found is:
Variant of KANJA, Russian short form of various first names.
Wilfried Seibicke: Historisches Deutsches Vornamenbuch I-IV, 2000 ff.
He cites:
Petrovskij, N(ikander) A(leksandrovic), 1980: Slovar’ russkih licnih imen [Dictionary of Russian First Names]. 2. ed., Moskau [1 ed. 1966]
So maybe someone who has access to this book, can help you.
