ArchivesRe: Off-topic quiz (but fun, anyway!) "Are You a Witch"?
in reply to a message by Nanaea
Hi! Here are some Slovene names. However, I don`t have so much knowledge in ethymology as you guys have, so some (most of them, actually) are lacking explanation.
masculine: Andrej (Andrew), Borut, Domen, Gorazd, Jernej, Jure (George), Klemen (Clement), Pavel (Paul), Rok (Rocco), Tadej (Thaddeus), Janez (John), Tilen (Giles), Bojan
feminine: Alenka, Alja, Ajda (buckwheat), Brina, Janja, Majda, Marjeta (maybe form of Marrietta, but it also means daisy in slovene), Marija (Mary), Mojca, Tonka (short from Antonia), Vida, Vesna (in slavic mythology this was the godess of spring), Jasna (Clara)
Nana, almost-a-witch :)

AJDA (f) "buckwheat" (Slovene).
ANDREJ (m) Slovene form of ANDREW
JANEZ (m) Slovene form of JOHN
JASNA (f) Slovene form of CLARA
JURE (m) Slovene form of GEORGE
KLEMEN (m) Slovene form of CLEMENT
MARIJA (f) Croatian, Lithuanian, and Slovene form of MARY
MARJETA (f) "daisy" (Slovene).

Can you find out the meanings of: BORUT, DOMEN, GORAZD, JERNEJ, BOJAN, ALENKA, ALJA, BRINA, JANJA, MAJDA, MOJCA, and VIDA? That's your BtN homework assignment for this weekend. :)
Mike C may or may not ask you for some online verification sources for some of these names. Anyway, just cut and paste the names I've put into BtN submission format for you, and send them to Mike C.
Very fine contribution to the site, Nana! :)
