Help[Surname] Re: cakar
in reply to a message by Veselina
The spelling Chakarov is more common in Bulgaria. I think it may the Bulgarian form of the Turkish name Cakar (and/or Çakar?). Neither name is in the Turkish dictionary though, but I did find out that in the Kyrgyz language, cakar means 'sharp, lively', which is perfect for a name (It is pronounced tchakar of course).

There is a commonly used Bulgarian family name Chakarov. There can be no confusion with this name written in Cyrillic. However, problems arise in translating or transliterating that name into English. "Chakarov" is just one of the possibilities. Another one is "Chakurov".
That name has no meaning in Bulgarian. Its origin is "çakýr". The online dictionary http://www.seslisozluk.com gives the meaning "greyish blue" for it in Turkish.
