Tfw called Vladimir

hard to explain. kept pestering me that im not russian, why i have a russian name. I told him it's a simple enough thing to understand, my grandfather was russian. then he said "oh YOU? telling ME something is simple?" and just generally hostile instead of getting on with his shitty job.

>tfw Greek name

How could he tell you weren't russian?

No

>tfw live in Kazakhstan
>tfw have a greek name
>tfw nobody pay attention on it because it's very common here

>tfw bearer of Chrit

You could Švabify it into Valdemar.

Well, no forget it, it still sounds "Eastern European" to normies.

Come on spill the beans senpai is it Alex?

Vladimir bros unite.

sure mate
I never heard modern greek has this name also.

Why are Russians so class-conscious it becomes a Gogol-esque caricature?

I accompagnied a friend of mine to her dentist, which is a good friend of her mother, so she adresses her as Svetlana as she usually does and the dentist starts throwing a fit that she wants to be adressed as "doctor".

Btw I though Vladimir was Eastern Slavic name, does Vladimir common in Serbia too?

Vladimir is a slavified Gothic name:

Valdemar > Volodimir > Vladimir (Volodya)

This is not necessary true, "Vladi" or "Volodi" is a slavic root, "mir" may have a gothic origin though, but it also makes sense in slavic.

Vovka, Vovan, Volodya, Vova, Vovunya
VOVAMBA

Yes it both makes sense in Slavic, as is why they adopted it.

He probably is a shitskin

Vovushka?

anyway what is interesting is that the Gothic -mar means "fame, glory" analogous to the Slavic -slav names.

I'm just saying it's more of a combination of both slavic and gothic roots, than necessary an adoption of an originally gothic name.

Are you one of those Turko/Mongol/Slav mutts?

>Nazi stuff
Why does a Mongol have Nazi stuff?

>tfw french first name and swedish last name

french + swede = double faggot

>tfw Roman first name

>Pierrot Ahlström

bydlo got mad?

It's a reliable way how to spot a peasant here, like half of them are called Vladimír

>Darius Pedersen

Norway:
>In 1923, it was ordered by law that each family should have a single, hereditary last name. Surnames derived from placenames commonly originated as farm names. Most families took a patronymic name, but some adopted a farm name.

Before 1923 commoners didn't have a fixed last name?

lol, I thought the Dutch were bad for not having last names and being forced to adopt one by Napoleon.

Here last names were already common in the Middle Ages. I have a West-Flemified French name (although of legitimate Belgian clay origin), the first ancestor who carried it was a wine merchant in Mons in the early 15th century. I have to go to France to dig it up further.

My first name is also French, I am Flemish though.

>Before 1923 commoners didn't have a fixed last name?

They had patronyms like Iceland has. Like Björn Thorsson, or Helga Heidisdottir.

>tfw danish first name and old albanian last name

but it changed with every generation of course?

we dropped patronyms pretty early but the Dutch used to have them for a long time too, if I'm not mistaken the Russians copied it from them

>old albanian last name

pre-islam? also, no -ov or -ovic added?

pre islam and yeah no vic and shit like that

>tfw difficult name
>countrymen can remember it no problem, even though it's kinda difficult
>foreigners can't, unless they are a harvard law school graduate 150 iq
>have to come up with SHORTENINGS to my name

you westerners will never know the struggle

>but it changed with every generation of course?

Maybe. I think it depends on where in Norway you were from. Some places, like in the North-West had patronyms for a long time for example, while it was more common for the midlands of Norway, and the south and south-east to name themselves after their farms, or even the town/county they were from.

>serb
>called vladimir and not something faggy like luka, nemanja or matija
WHAT THE FUCK

My surname is of a mixed Bavarian and Serbo-Croatian provenance. And no, that is not common in Slovenia at all. Most think it's a southern surname because it ends in a typical -šič, but it's Slovenian in (geographical) origin.

every time a see a fucking sloveniacuck his heritage is either serbo-croatian (bosnian) or austrian

can you autists just fuck off? how can a non-country such a this exist in 2016?

I have an Ukrainian surname, but for them I would probably still be a dirty moskal.

come back to golden horde son

I have never seen nor heard a Serb named Matija. It's a largely Slovenian and Croatian name and it was symbolically borne by the renaissance-era peasant leader Matija Gubec/Gobec who commanded armies of both Croats and Slovenes.

>Christian first name
>Ashkenazi surname
At least they kept it themed.

whats an examble of an ashkenazi surname? the goldberg kikestein shit?

pip bernadotte

What is it?

>rare kind-of historical given name, don't know a single person who shares it irl, anglos WILL pronounce it wrong and then it sounds even more retarded
>egyptian surname

Exactly. I won't give out my surname, but we're bloodline related to the Bonnier family, which is as Jewish as you can get in Sweden.
Our families immigrated together and had some mixing of marriages.

Is it Shekelstein?

Are you related to any Elders of Sion?

yeah, it's rather common in Serbia
there are many people with names ending in -ir
like Branimir, Radomir..

where did you get that it's only eastern?

How are those names faggy?
>I have never seen nor heard a Serb named Matija
That's because it's usually Matej or Mateja here :^)
Not as common as Marko, though. Marko is probably the most common.

And there are many called Luka and Nemanja though.

>tfw americanized version of an english version of a greek version of a hebrew name

the fuck what's your name la'?

>Branimir
serbs having traditional croatian name
kek

>Kaleta 1995 notes that "In the case of Old Germanic and Old Slavic personal names, the dithematic name form contained a wish for the new-born child. These wishes pertained to the values that obtained in these early times"

Many dithematic Slavic names have (Old) Germanic equivalents. What is notable is that this is especially common in the regions where Goths used to reside and were assimilated, such as Croatia and Serbia.

Another interesting tidbit with Serbian names is the popularity of the term "vuk" (wolf) both in first names and last names.

Your name is Henri right?
