Justinian
I removed it because I don't think his name in Bulgarian is relevant to the English article. Adam Bishop 18:34, 25 June 2007 (UTC)

I respectfully disagree. As far as Justinian is the Latin name, and little later (if not at the same time) the Slavic name also was used 'Upravda' in Greek ‘Ουπράιυδα' from the Slavic people of the region where he was born, it worth at least to mention it. Also the Saint Upravda is the name of same guy in Slavic Orthodox Churches (Bulgarian, Russian, Serbian and etc.) It is important when English speaking people need more information for Saint Upravda, to be able to see that this is Justinian and not to create another article for the same person.

Here are is one more point why this should be mentioned. There are a "Vita Justiniani" http://books.google.com/books?id=RX9JetVQdaMC&dq=vita+justiniani&printsec=frontcover&source=web&ots=CCg-zVi1MZ&sig=0OTYHDornxVLD9QfVutel6NIxgE#PPA9,M1 written by Theophilus. Weather it indeed exists or not is question of debate, since it came to us as a references and copies. Additional to that, there are few others source like "Book of Wles", Filaret's "Life of Justinian" and etc. The critics on those are mostly by James Bryce and Constantin Jirecek here http://links.jstor.org/sici?sici=0013-8266(188710)2%3A8%3C657%3ALOJBT%3E2.0.CO%3B2-%23
