BULGARIAN WOMEN’S NAMES
In a 1915 National Geographic article about Bulgaria, the following women’s names are cited:
Nadezda, Nadelka, Xarafinka, Bagoya, Vesselina, Goonka, Zdravka.
Three of them: Xarafinka, Bagoya, and Goonka appear to be questionable. (Google couldn’t find a single example of anyone bearing any of these names.) “Bagoya” is probably a misspelling of “Blagoya”, but what about “Xarafinka” and “Goonka”? Does anyone have any theories about them?
