Is it possible that the Bosnian surnames with the prefix
hadž denote "hajj, pilgrimage," as in the surname
Hadžić?
(Compared to the surnames Hadžiahmetović (Hajj Ahmet?), Hadžiefendić (Hajj Effendi?), Hadžimuhamedović (Hajj Muhamed?), and so on)
Also is it possible that the Bosnian surnames with the element
beg be related to the Turkish element [*beg], as in the surname Begić?
(Compared to the surnames Šahbegović, Hadžihafizbegović, and so on)
