Name «Chornii»

The name "Chornii" is a nickname variant traditionally given to dark-skinned children. This is related to the analogy of other nicknames, such as Krasii, Rebrii, Cholii, and others. The earliest mention of this name dates back to 1448 when an individual named Todor Chornii is documented. Another mention appears in 1571, referring to Petro Chornii, who is associated with the village of Steblyvka (mentioned in the Maramoros Clock, 192).
