Re: Second "very blind guess"
Could it be "black bird"? with slavic and latin combined (it wouldn't be the first time a name combines two languages)

The latin for 'bird' is avis . . .In fact, a quick search hasn't revealed a single 'bird' element in a name which has anything to do with any of the syllables in chernobyl.http://www.behindthename.com/php/search.php?terms=bird&nmd=m&gender=both&operator=or

I meant; "Tchern" (black) "avia" (bird).
"Chyernobog" is the evil "black god" in contrast with the good "white god" called "Byelobog" (like in "belorussia"); they are slavic deities mentioned by Russian folklorists.

"Avis" is Latin for English "bird"
"Avian" is English for "like a bird" or "belonging to the type of animal that birds are" that is "being a bird"
"Ave" in Spanish is English "bird"
Simple sentences, "evidences", happy?
