Grekelin: Difference between revisions

Line 28:

Grekelin comes from the Urlogrok word Groko, which means Greek. The suffix -lin comes from Proto-Grekelin "Ελλήν" which is the ethnonym for the Greeks. Eventually, Groko reverted to the Latin-related "Greko" and, as the tradition has it, the two worlds met to form Grekelin.

Another legend says that Grekelin was a very old Slavic word to describe the Greeks of the Black Sea, during the Kievan Rus times. It appears that the surname Grekelin exists in Ukrainian and Belarusian (''Грекелін'')~~, while Russian has a more distinct version ''Грекелов''.~~

Another legend says that Grekelin was a very old Slavic word to describe the Greeks of the Black Sea, during the Kievan Rus times. It appears that the surname Grekelin exists in Ukrainian and Belarusian (''Грекелін'').

From the Grekelin perspective, ''Γρέκέλίν'' is split into "Γρέκέλ-" and "-ίν", the latter being used to show that "it derives" from the former. Hence, Grekelin derives from some unknown "Grekel" word. Some studies appear to talk about the Grekely people (perhaps referring to the first Greeks in Hungary?). It also looks like an extremely corrupted form of ''Szekely'', a Hungarian subgroup living in Romania, perhaps during the first split of Grekelin from Greek.
