Hi Everyone,

    Writing an article on saints who were beloved in Slovakia a hundred years ago
and were the inspiration for many of our ancestor's first names.

    Here's a quick list i came up with - would welcome recurring first names in
your ancestral family.

Female names
Maria
Anna
Helena
Zuzana
Katerina
Barbora
Dorota
Lucia

Male Names
Juraj
Jan
Michal
Jozef
Peter
Mikulas
Matej
Martin
Lukas
Ondrej
David

Our Winter 2012 issue of "Slovakia" had a super article by SW's Michael Mojher
on Slovak Mythology and the pantheon of pagan gods. Michael's niece Claire
Mojher did gorgeous illustrations for the article and a fantastically colorful
and creative cover of St Nicholas.

My printer gave me extras so if someone would like a copy for $1 to cover
postage and handling please e mail me directly at helenezx@...

The issue also had a gorgeous icon, some wonderful naive paintings and an
article on Milan Rastislav Stefanik, Slovakia's Renaissance man, whose loss is
still mourned.

grandparents names, or my mother's made the list: gm-Veronika, gf-Carol (m.
Carolus and Karoly) and m-Zofia.

By coincidence, the most popular names in Slovakia in 2012 were published
yesterday.  For comparison, I added a list of the Slovaks' most common given
names in the 1870s in case it is part of what you're looking for, Helene:

Suggest adding Pavol (Pavel) and Stefan as popular male names, and Alzbeta for
females. Curious to see David as a popular name 100 years ago.  Don't recall
seeing this name much if at all in all my genealogical research over the years.
Maybe it's just my area (Humenne).  Another question -- Does anyone know if
there's an English equivalent for Bohus?

Hi Helene, how about these names, popular in my family:

Pavol (Paul)
Milan
Jaro (Jerry)
Igor
Stefan

Paulina
Juliana

Tonya


[Non-text portions of this message have been removed]

Thanks to all for your comments and suggestions - isn't it interesting that the
Slovak Ministry of Culture just published that list of names poplar now and in
1890 although i wonder why they anglicized them.

Not particularly, Helene, see:

> and in 1890 although i wonder why they anglicized them.

That's unclear.  None of the names was anglicized in either the current list or
in that of 1880. See additional clarification at "Slovak Spot."

Oh, thanks for letting me know, Helene, I've been wondering what was behind it.

I have one name to add ~ Apollonia - a very early saint. Appeared twice in my
family from 1870 onwards. I looked her up:
http://www.newadvent.org/cathen/01617c.htm

I don't know if the name was fashionable (like Maria Theresa was decades
earlier), or was remembered from a sermon.
Anybody else have this name?

Thanks to all for your comments and suggestions - isn't it interesting that the
Slovak Ministry of Culture just published that list of names poplar now and in
1890 although i wonder why they anglicized them.

I see Apollonia with some frequency in 19th century Kysuca river valley, in the
northwest part of Slovakia. I wouldn't call it popular, but it certainly wasn't
uncommon; I probably see it more than the name Zuzanna.

I've definitely noticed that popular names are different from village to
village, and also within a village over time.

Here's what it says about Slovakia:

My nephew would like to make his [long deceased] grandmother's Bohemian Rye
bread. I found the recipe in my files, but then found that Pillsbury
discontinued making Bohemian Rye Flour. Does anyone know the proportions for
making a substitute flour for Bohemian Rye Bread?
