[Facts] Re: Kitka
in reply to a message by Kirke
Does it also mean flower in Polish, or not?
I realised in Czech it also used to mean this thing called aigrette - especially a real flower used to decorate a hat, often given by a girl to her beloved man, as documented by folk songs.
But it's already a mostly forgotten meaning.

Well it is my last name so yes it can be used as a name.

Kitka as a surname appears to be Tlingit (a language of the Pacific Northwest), not Slavic, not at all what they are talking about.

My father is a refugee from the Hungarian revolution. My family history does not have any Alaska Native ancestry. It relates.
