Talk:Ana-Neda

Name
Mandić 1981: [Име- нима Ана — Неда зову ]е и новији бугарски историча- ри.52 Заиста ]е Милутиновој кпери могло бити крштено име Неда, а кад се удала за Михаила, тамо ]е, као вла- дарка, добила титуларно име Ана.] rough transl. Recent Bulgarian historians call her Ana-Neda. It is likely that "Ana-Neda" was born Neda, and when married to Mihailo, as a queen, she received the titular name Ana. I've reviewed the Gbook hits:

Ana[-Neda] (Cyrillic version used in both Serbian and Bulgarian sources):


 * "Ана-Неда" = (39)
 * "Ана Неда" = (16)
 * "Ана (Неда)" = (8)
 * "Ана (Неда, Доминика)" = (3)
 * "Ana-Neda" (3)
 * "Јелена (световно име: Ана/Неда)" = (1)

Total: 70

Anna[-Neda] (Cyrillic version only used in Bulgarian sources):


 * "Анна-Неда" (17)
 * "Anna-Neda" (11)
 * "Anna Neda" (8)
 * "Анна Неда" (6)
 * "Анна (Неда)" (3)
 * "Anna (Neda)" (2)

Total: 47

Conclusion: The overall hits favour Ana-Neda (with a dash; 70 hits for Ana + a total 70 hits with dash), and scholarly use also support that variation. Moving to Ana-Neda, without "of Serbia/Bulgaria", and adding name annotation clarifying the names.--Z oupan 18:41, 10 August 2012 (UTC)
