Todor Božović
Todor (Bulgarian, and sr, Тодор/Todor) is a Bulgarian, Macedonian and Serbian given name, a local rendering of the name Theodore. The Hungarian form of the name is rendered similarly as ''Tódor''. It is the most common name in Bulgarian villages such as Velingrad and Plovdiv. As a form of the name Theodore, ''Todor'' also ultimately comes from the Greek Θεόδωρος (''Theodoros''), signifying "gift of god", from θεός (''theos'') "god" and δῶρον (''doron'') "gift". Slavic equivalents bearing a similar meaning are '' Bozhidar'' and '' Bogdan''. The name Todd is similar too but has different meaning. The Bulgarian diminutives of ''Todor'' are Тошко (''Toshko''), Тошо (''Tosho'') and Тоше (''Toshe'') and the Macedonian diminutive is Тоше (''Toše'') and Тодорче (''Todorče'').

Bulgarian Language
Bulgarian (, ; bg, label=none, български, bălgarski, ) is an Eastern South Slavic language spoken in Southeastern Europe, primarily in Bulgaria. It is the language of the Bulgarians. Along with the closely related Macedonian language (collectively forming the East South Slavic languages), it is a member of the Balkan sprachbund and South Slavic dialect continuum of the Indo-European language family. The two languages have several characteristics that set them apart from all other Slavic languages, including the elimination of case declension, the development of a suffixed definite article, and the lack of a verb infinitive. They retain and have further developed the Proto-Slavic verb system (albeit analytically). One such major development is the innovation of evidential verb forms to encode for the source of information: witnessed, inferred, or reported. It is the official language of Bulgaria, and since 2007 has been among the official languages of th ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
