Abstract:

The paper deals with the origin and semantics of 60 surnames. All of them are derived from 13 common nouns and 13 first names of Turkish, Romanian, Bulgarian, Russian and Greek origin. We focus our attention on some sound changes causing the great number of different variants of identical names and on some incorrect explanations in the previous studies.

Keywords:

surname, first name, common noun, sound change
