Re: Bosnian names
There are a number of Bosnian people at my friend's workplace, and I was curious about the meanings and pronunciation of a few of their names. Could you help me out please Jordan?Stapgo (?) - this is what everyone calls him.Armir, or Armer - not sure, sounds like r-mirr when sounded out.Cekic (a last name)Amula (?) a female nameAnd does the word koka, or coca, mean anything to you? That is one of the guy's nicknames.All your help is appreciated!Thanks

Hi,
Cekic is a turkish word.it means hammer in "turkish".But its written with turkish alphabet like "çekiç" (c with dots) its pronouncation is like "che-kee-ch" :)and ismet is arabic name in turkish.it means chaste or virtous one.maybe ismata is the female version of it.
