PLACE-NAME CHANGES SINCE 9 SEPTEMBER 144
This listing of place-name changes is an alphabetical and two-way index of all
place-name changes which have been recorded. Those places which were omitted
from the initial compilation by mistake have been listed at the end, and those
names are also inserted in small letters, preceded by a 11#11, in the appropriate
place in the main listing.
The left-hand column contains an alphabetical listing of all names, both now and
old, involved in a name-change. The new ones are starred (*) when they appeqr
in the left-hand column. The second column contains abbreviations which'rapresent
t' g~'tyiae' 'of ,'place whose name has been changed.
Railroad stations have not been listed in addition to their towns unless their
names differ from the names of the towns where they are located, or, unless the
name of a station has been changed while the town name has remained the same.
Place-names which contain two or more words (such as the town of Khadzhi Tsonev
Most) are indexed to the correct name. However, place-names which contain such
words as S, elo,, Poolles Makh~ala, _, Vrkh, and Rka, are not cross-referenced.
The standard transliteration for Bulgarian names has been used throughout. The
dpelling of 1916 names is based on the spelling given in Predvarctelni Rezultati
of Prebro avane na Naselenieto na 31 Dekemvri 1946 (Preliminary ehu" "
'o' he-`"
ensue o the Population to 31 December , published in Sofia in 1447, even
when such spelling is known to have been subsequently revised, as in the case,
for example, of Kharmanlii and Bela Dkoliyas (now Kharmanli and Byala).
Because some of the changes were obtained from Lnglish-language translations of
the Bulgarian press announcements and the originals were not available for examin-
ation, the proper transliteration of the post-19146 name is not I ways certain) es-
pecially in the case of the letter "h 'I, properly transliterated l,d but often
appearing as uu" in the translations which halre beck, available. In these + oasesi
the 'lull has been left, as received unless the proper transliteration was known, as
in the case of "Gl bovoIt. A complete transliteration table is contained on page 36.
The third and fourth columns locate the towns which are listed in the left-hand column
by obshtina and okolia, so that there will be no possibility of applying the listed
name-o ange to and or town of the same name. These locations are given according to
the 1916 census report;, in spite of the fact that the town in question might have
been assigned to a ~ew obshtlna since that time.
The fifth column gives the 3,946 name as listed, in the 1946 census report of any
post-19116 name listed in the first column (starred). The fifth column is blank
when it is the 1946 name whioh appears in the left-hand column and in those oases,
the post-19146 name is listed in the sixth and final column.
The sources for this information are, in most oases, either the 00-W translations
of the Bulgarian press or the announcements contained in various iesues of Gee ram
or made over the Bulgarian radio. In a very few oases, unofficial reports name-
changes have been recorded in this listing, but all such cases are noted beneath
the entry.
When a new town has been formed from the fusion of two previously-existing ones, the
new town is listed in this index. But when two towns have been fused to make one
town of the same name as one of the previous towns, the change, which is thus
administrative rather than a shame of names, has not been noted in this listing.

(Notes announcement of the place-name change for the railroad station
Oar. Zlati Dog, has been received; Mara Zlati Dol is also an incorporated
village and no announcement that its name has been changed, has been received.,
although this may well have happened;-the Simeonovgrad Railroad Station which
is the next stop north of Gara Zlati Dol has also been renamed Maritsa, while
no announcement has been received, that the incorporated d, Simeonovgrad, has
been renamed Maritsa; svgll. , 14 November 1952 mentioned that a branch of the
Kharmanlii Okoliya court met at Maritsa, in Kharmanlii Okoliya, and accordingly
either Simeonovgrad or Gara Zlati Dcl must have been renamed Maritsa; the former,
being twice the size of the latter and therefore more likely to house an okoliya
court, seems more likely to be the populated, place which has been renamed Maritsa)
