[Opinions] Re: Obituaries
in reply to a message by Pie
Hyphenated double names are rare (except for Ana-Marija), but then since we don't usually use middle names all people with two names use both even when they're not hyphenated (I know a Zrinka Katarina that goes by her full name for example).Ljubiša is a variation of Ljuban, Lubos, etc (-ša is a diminutive suffix, as in the case of Sasha, Misha, etc.). The same root as Ljubica, yes. I've never seen Bjelan before, the root is word 'bjel' meaning 'white'. More on Svetozar here: http://www.behindthename.com/submit/name/svetozar
