slavic names of star wars characters?

Hello there!

I am not sure if you are asking me about already existent characters in the SW universe, anon, where I can answer that the only character that comes to my mind with sort-of-a-slavic name is Slavin, an Imperial officer from Rebels, or if you mean my suggestion of slavic names for Star Wars characters...

If it's the latter, I'd suggest these:

Female Names

Bisera

Brana

Darina

Elka

Jasna

Ivelina

Lada

Lara

Mila

Nadia

Nevena

Vera

Zlata

Zora

Zoriana

Male Names

Bohdan

Bronimir

Dobroslav

Darko

Goran

Hviezdoslav

Lech

Mladen

Nenad

Orlin

Prodan

Radoslav

Strogbor

Vlad

Some of these male names have a female version by adding -a, like Bohdana, Dobroslava, Radoslava...

Those are just some names that I feel are good to use for SW characters. I purposefully omitted all the names with letters like "ž", "š", "č, "ř" and similar variants in other Slavic languages.

name moodboard for “natália” for @bibliophile221b

[leroibobo]

etz hayyim (“tree of life”) synagogue in chania, crete, greece. the building dates to the 14th-15th centuries, and was originally a venetian catholic church. it was acquired by chania's jewish community and converted into a synagogue in the late 17th century. chania's jews were deported due to the holocaust in 1944, after which the building remained abandoned until restoration in the 1990s.

romaniote jews are the oldest jewish community in europe and one of the oldest in the world, thought to have lived in and around present day greece since before 70 ce. they have their own liturgy that is unrelated to the more commonly used european ones (ashkenazic and sephardic).

While Laika was the name popularized around the world, she had many nicknames including Kudryavka (Russian for Little Curly), Zhuchka (Little Bug), and Limonchik (Little Lemon).

Those of you who are Polish or linguistically similar (Czech, idk what more) probably noticed, but Boromir would be a perfectly legit Medieval Polish (Slavic in general?) name, meaning more or less "peace in the forest". Faramir is a bit trickier and needs some anachronism, but "fara" is a type of a church, so "peace in the church", or to make it more setting-appropriate, "peace in the hall".

Let's translate those back to Sindarin using that one instruction for name-making. So, as the wise the dictionary says:

forest = taur hall = There's nothing I can find in sindarin, for etymological reasons let's go with gobel which is walled town / house, makes sense in the context peace = îdh

Surprisingly there's nothing to tweak according to the instruction, so Taurídh and his younger brother Gobelídh (both sound so dumb…)

…Now I need a fic where Boromir and Faramir go on a stealth mission using those as their fake names.

Unpopular opinion, but Germanic fairytales got nothing on Slavic/Balkan fairytales. Now, do not get me wrong, they are very different in essence, that is why they are quite dissimilar. German fairitales tend to be cautionary and grim, intended to teach you a lesson, whereas the Slavic/Balkan ones give you the strong feeling of some psychedelic daydreaming.

You start reading one fairytale and immediately begin to wonder what the authors were drinking/smoking, and where you can get said substance.

In some stories, people can eat rocks to spit out pavement, the moon uses gender like a skipping rope, horses and wolves fly, kids grow by the hour, princes weep a lot and seek guidance from anyone (even mosquitos!), women are wise, and there’s is almost always a shapeshifting companion that adds bromance to the story.
