Slovakia

What about Slovakia? I don't think it's the most common name (as it is stated for Czech Republic, Poland, and Slovenia), but I believe it is in the top 5 at least (Kováč being the most common). But I'm not able to verify these information... Does anyone know more? Thanks. Yes, i think this surname deserves to have its own article on Wikipedia. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 109.173.55.225 (talk) 11:51, 17 June 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Alphabetical order

[edit]

Why is (in the first line) Slovenia behind Croatia? I would understand if there was an alphabetical order but then why is Poland first? Jambornik (talk) 14:28, 18 April 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Indo-European

[edit]

I find this name fascinating because there is a very common name “Naveen” in Sanskrit (India); and it means “new”, but a specific type of new as in “new soul”, as in free from past karma, or innocent. This name is also quite ancient in Sanskrit, going back thousands of years, along with the meaning of new soul. Later in Persia, this name was Novin. It’s so interesting finding out about “nový” and “Novak”, and that the meaning is still “new”.. it seems to connect a lot of dots.

I also always wondered about the name “Nevena” or “Nevina”, which a classmate of Eastern European background had. Lo and behold, when I search its meaning, the name means “innocent”, matching the “new soul” meaning.

Sadly, most Etymologies just connect dots to Greek or Latin but never to Sanskrit.

Are there any researchers looking into connecting etymology between Eastern Europe and India?
