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.
- Tsygan (m), attested as a feminine patronymic as Katarzina Cyganowa, 1558. Wickenden.
- Tsyganka (f), Katarzina Cyganka, 1558. Wickenden.
- 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.
- 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].
