Understanding Bulgarian names

Many Bulgarian given names are Slavic or Christian in origin. A lot of Bulgarian surnames originated as patronymics, meaning they were originally based on an ancestor’s given name. They’re also gendered, with the suffix (the ending) changing depending on the person’s gender. Ev and ov (men) and eva and ova (women) are the most common.

Modern Bulgarian names consist of at least one given name, a patronymic middle name (a name that reflects the name of their father), and a family/surname. 

Diminutive forms

Using diminutive forms of names (to show informality or affection) is very common. For example, Tatyana might be called Tanya by friends.

Examples of Bulgarian names

Let’s look at some typical examples from literary history:

  • Ivan Petrov

  • Elena Dimitrova

  • Georgi Nikolov

  • Milena Stoyanova

  • Dimitar Ivanov

  • Kalina Petrova

  • Boris Marinov

  • Teodora Vasileva
