Archivesnames used for... birth prevention
Have you ever thought that once upon a time people didn't really have reliable birth prevention methods? And they gave their 178th child a name they thought would prevent the appearance of more sweet little creatures who need to be fed and cared for?
OK, seriously - there are birth prevention names. Bulgarians used:
Zaprin (m) and Zaprina (f) which come from the verb "zapiram" = to stop
Dosta (f) which is the Bulgarian word for "enough".
Stamat (m) from the Greek "stamatos" - to stop (Pavlos, correct me if I am wrong about the etymology).
Does anybody know other names with the same meaning/"purpose"?
