RE: St. Petka - Imprinted by LightCaptured
Thank you!
It's really entertaining how we, the "modern" people try to "fix" the ancient names so they sound in a more "fashion" way.
I know people who are called "Petra" and that's, I think, an internationally accepted female name.
You are maybe right, but don't you think "Petko" is just an informal version of "Peter"? :DDD
It all makes a lot od sense! :P
I can't actually find any connection between the names Paraskeva and Petka, so this "translation" doesn't make sense to me at all. On the other hand, it is logical that Petko is the diminutive of Peter, but in fact, if we take the Bulgarian point of view again and translate Petko, it is logical that it comes from the word Petak, i.e. Friday.
The name Peter cannot be translated into Bulgarian, because there are no hints anymore, but everything is ala-bala, I think that is already clear now 😂
I always wondered, for example, where Sasho, as a diminutive of Alexander, came from.🤔
And by the way, I find the female name Petra very beautiful, unfortunately it is not very common in Bulgaria. Well, Petka is not common either🤣🤣🤣
