Re: Zaria
in reply to a message by lac
Zora and Zorica (little dawn) mean dawn in Slavic languages. I've never heard of Zaria meaning this. ___________________________________________________________

Here is the meaning of zaria in Russian http://www.abbyyonline.ru/Translate.aspx?lingvoaction=translate&VTI-GROUP=0&Ln=1&words=%D0%B7%D0%B0%D1%80%D1%8FI have never heard a female name Zaria.In Bulgarian, e.g., there are composed names like Svetozar, Velizar, Luchezar, etc. A shorten diminutive form is also available: Zarko. Their female forms are very rare, however.
