Why don't they have patronyms like the other Orthodox Slavs?
Bugars don't have patronyms either
>>223474914They have it just doesn't end in -ich or -evich/-ovich but just -ev/-ov
>>223474930Never mind they do have it
>>223474850Patronyms, as in having your last name be the first name of your father? I though only Icelanders still practiced that.
>>223474981I mean a middle name derived from the father's first name, for example:Father's full name:Ivan Alexandrovich AndropovSon's full name: Sergei Ivanovich Andropov
>>223474981Your name, your father's name, your family name Nikola Milutinovic Tesla Russians and Bugars do that
>>223474981No, its like a middle nameIf your name is Ivan Horvat for example and your fathers name is Petar, then you would be Ivan Petrovic HorvatOr Horvat, Ivan Petrovic, depends on the formatOr Ivana Petrova Horvat if womanBut we still in our documents have to list our parents names, this would simplify it.
I know that here there was a naming convention law that the Serbs wrote during SHS times that instituted family namesPreviously you would just be referred to with the name of someone prominent in your family, sometimes the father sometimes the grandfather
