    Or
    Βουλγαράκης
    Bulgarian or Greek or ??????
    He or she answeared:

    It's reasonable someone with any kind of different ethnic background from the majority ,to be spotted by his ethnicity,and this after becoming a nickname ,to become a surname.

    So we have Arvanit-aki ,or Voulgar-akis...or Grec-ov.

    Guess what...there is no Makedon-akis.

    There is a great misconception regarding the above term, its use and meaning during history. When did it get national, ethnic, etc?



    Well let's see, the Hellenized Version:

    And since Terra made it clear:

    (Of course again makedonas ,does not have a particularly metaphorical meaning...
    Na Terriaky, tell us about it !

    Is in Greece still 2+2 = 4 or something else

    PS. You are right about the Metaphorical meaning of the word Vulgaros means brutal, savage, or uncivilized. It is used withthe epithet Hondrokefalos, and designates people who are rural, commoner uneducated.

    In other words, the modern term for Barbarian

    To enquire after the impression behind an idea is the way to remove disputes concerning nature and reality.

    A solid observation that will be brushed aside with a silly comment.
