Scottish last names of Serbian origin
Zizovic Aleksandar
people, I found some registry of Scottish last names. While I was reading
that, I noticed that some of that last names have a meaning in Serbian
language but I do not find any meaning for them in any other language. I
will appriciate if someone could tell me DOES THEY HAVE ANY MEANING ON ANY
OTHER LANGUAGE and what does they mean?
There are Scottish last names that are same as:
Serbian names: Dejan, Dean (ser. "Dejan"), Rayko (ser. "Rajko"), Lazarus
(ser. "Lazar"), Lazo (ser. short from "Lazar"), Novak, Nowak (ser. "Novak"),
MacMillan, McMillan, Mcmillan, Mcmillan, Jr, Mcmillian, Milam (ser.
"Milan"), Luke, Lukin ("son of Luka"), Ogden (ser. "Ognjen");
Serbian nick-names: Sale (serbian nick name for "Aleksandar" or "Sasa"),
Miles (ser. "Mile", Serbian nick-name), Costa (ser. "Kosta"), Cane (very
popular Serbian nick-name), Snaza is similar to "snaga" (=eng. "strength")
and "Sneza" (short from "Snezana", Serbian female name);
Names like: Rankin (=eng. "son of Ranka"), Sawin (ser. "Savin" =eng.
"son of Sava"), Petke ("son of Petka"), Sovine ("of/from the owl");
Objects, animals, plants, etc: Tabor (=eng. "camp"), Torr (ser. "tor"
=eng. "pen", "sheep-fold"), Kerr (ser. "ker" =eng. "dog"), Sokol (=eng.
"hawk", "falcon"), Riis, Van Rys (ser. "ris" =eng. "lynx"), Roy, Van Roy
(ser. "roj" =eng. "swarm"), Kersten (ser. "kesten" =eng. "chestnut",
"chestnut-tree"), Durbin (=eng. "field-glass", "telescope"), Van Orden (ser.
"orden" =eng. "medal"), Prutt (ser. "prut" =eng. "birch", "switch"), Warnica
(ser. "varnica" =eng. "spark", "sparkle"), Stitt (ser. "stit" =eng.
"shield"), Salas (=eng. "farm"), Malter (=eng. "mortar");
Human characteristicks: Gabor (serbian word for extremely ugly person),
Woden (ser. "voden" =eng. "watery", "aqueous", "of water", "diluted",
"waterish"), Cowan (ser. "kovan" =eng. "malleable"), Parker (=eng.
"floorer"), Rus (=eng. "Russian");
There are also some interesting last names like: Sorbs (one of earlier
names for Serbian tribes), Retka (sounds like Serbian name which means "very
rear", but I have never heard it before), and my favourite: Sisemore
(something like "give me that fucking teats!")

Scotts and English (and American Blacks) like
to take Hebrew and Greek and other names.
Unlike Orthodox people who take names of
Saints, just about anything is acceptable to them.

Riis/Ris/(Rice) has a dual meaning in the Germanic languages (English is
a
special case, being a mixed germanic-roman language). It besides the
grain
means "Twigs" or "Brushwood", btw a much older meaning than the
(asiatic)
grain of rice.
