Zeljka (Željka) is first name, Klincic is last name -----Original Message----- From: Carole Allen [mailto:carolea7@home.com] Sent: Thursday, November 08, 2001 4:04 AM To: CROATIA-L@rootsweb.com Subject: [CROATIA-L] Re: Translation? Does anyone know what "Zeljka" means? While in Croatia in Sept., we found a street (a little outside Zagreb in Brdovec) with my paternal surname. The sign said "Ulica Zeljka Klincica." I know Ulica is street Klincic is our name Oh, and I knew in the back of my mind that Klinc^ic' means "clove" but imagine our surprise to find packages of cloves in grocery stores with KLINC^IC' in big letters across the front. We brought home some as souveniers for the siblings! (And on the coast there is a Put Gazica, Gazic' being my mom's surname.)

When I was in samobor, they told me that the streets were named for war heros, I think that they change after each war. ----- Original Message ----- From: "Tomislav Garilovic" <Tomislav.Garilovic@hep.hr> To: <CROATIA-L@rootsweb.com> Sent: Friday, November 09, 2001 12:58 AM Subject: RE: [CROATIA-L] Re: Translation?
