The paper concerns an interpretation of the local place name Bedznene as a possible
trace of the etnonym Pecheneg. The Bedzhene locality name was registered in 1981—82
during field researches in the region of the municipality of Isperih, North-East Bulgaria.
Certain personal/family names, village and some locality names found in the ottoman
documents from 15th — 16th centuries as well as similar appellations that have survived in
the Bulgarian toponymic nomenclature may be thought of as possible traces of the Turkic
tribe of the Pechenegs. Raids and processes of Pechenegs’ settling in North-eastern and
South-western areas of the Bulgarian territory in the 11th — 12th centuries were well
documented in the Byzantine written sources. The ethnonyms have been preserved via
anthroponyms, originating from them; later the anthroponyms became nuclei of new
derivatives, containing the bedzhene component.
Interesting is the correlation bedzhene-gins, evil spirits, which may be explained
with the Pecheneg newcomers’ settling in an alien surrounding. Moreover, some Pechenegs
adopted Christianity, but others remained pagan, which may have given ground to the
local Christian people to see them as aliens and evil gins.
