Eastern European Cultures

This contains information on names and armory in various Eastern European cultures, including Romany, and Serbo-Croatian. There are seperate entries for books on Russian names and armory, Polish Names and Armory, Hungarian names and Czech names.

ROMANY--NAMES

Borrow, George. Romano Lavo-Lil: A Book of the Gypsy. Alan Sutton: Great Britain, 1982.

This book, which is about Gypsies in general has a short chapter on Gypsy names. Not terribly useful, but better than nothing. Recommended under limited circumstances. (JA)

SERBO-CROATIAN--NAMES

Bosanac, Milan. Prosvjetin Imenoslov. Prosvjeta, 1984.

A book on Serbo-Croatian names, in Serbo-Croatian. It has an alphabetical listing of first names, sorted by gender. It is the only book that I know of on the subject. Recommended until something better is found. (JA)
