STOYAN (Стоян). From
the Slavic adjective stoyan, meaning "enduring, stable,"
from the root stóyati (to stand). Usage: Bulgaria,
Serbia.
Ognianoff
listened with secret excitement to the close of the song.
"This Stoyan," he thought, "is the
very type of the legendary Bulgarian haïdoud, with his calm courage in
facing death... (Library of the World's Best Literature, v.26, 1902)
Stoyan
is a common Serbian name, of which Stoya
(or Stóyana) is the feminine diminutive. But
stoyan is also an
adjective meaning stable, enduring; and stoya a noun meaning a standing,
a position; both are from the same root as stóyati, to stand.
(Who Are
the Slavs?, Radosavljevich, v.2, 1919).
