Abstract:

An analysis of the names Troyan, Trayanov val, Trayanovi vrata supported by data from linguistic and archeological research gives enough grounds for the following conclusions: -there is no reason to believe that the settlement name Troyan is derived from the name of Emperor Trayan. - there is no reason to believe that the name of Emperor Trayan, Traianus in Latin, had become Troyan in Bulgarian through a vowel shift. -the big heights/walls in Bessarabia, later called Trayanovi valove, are actually heights/walls built by the Proto-Bulgarian tribe Aspar, after which the land was called Aspar eri. The most appropriate name for these military facilities built by our people in the lands which were ours then but today are the lands of Bessarabia, is Asparovi valove, resp. Upper Asparov val, Lower Asparov val which is a case of paronymy with Asparuhov val, the name of the facility or wall actually built by the Bulgarians of Khan Asparuh in the lands of present day Bulgaria.
