[Surname] Re: Origin and meaning of Bulat?
More information on the word bulat can be found here -
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bulat_steel
I've also found the word bulát in my Russian dictionary, "Damascus steel" is the translation there. So I may have erred in limiting the name to the Caucasus and to Muslims. If the word is in the Russian vocabulary Bulatov may be Russian as well as Caucasian.
