Name «Strazhyna»

The name "Strazhyna" is likely derived from the same verbal root as the Bulgarian male name "Strazho" (refer to Ilchev's research, page 467), or from the Serbian male name "Strazha" (according to Hrek, page 189). Both names originate from the two-root name model "Strazhemir." The name "Strazhyna" is documented in Ukrainian sources only once, specifically in 1620: "Strazhyna and Hrytsko Ivan" from the village of Rivky (according to VKO, page 213).
