Khegen Romany

Name Inspiration

• Basic info about the name: culture, meaning, sound...

Khegen'

• Russian men's given name -- Khegen' Dragoslalik. 1378. [Mor 200] in Wickenden 2nd Edition

Romany

• Lingua Anglica of Tsygan, Russian descriptive ethnic byname meaning Romany man. (Wickenden's sources translated the name as "gypsy" which is, of course, a pejorative term with Roma or Romany being the form preferred by members of the group [need to verify the precedent on this].)
• Tsygan is the header form and reflects the modern English transliteration of the name. It is documented in Wickenden with a spelling based on the medieval Polish transliteration from a West Russian source.

Combination

• Documentation for the combination of the names
• Needed if lingual mix, temporal incompatibility, double-given name, etc.
