Hello, dear Macedonian language learners :) 

A few days ago I met a girl named Dunja (Дуња) which means quince, the beautiful smelly yellow fruit. 

It inspired me to write a small blog post about all the female names we have in Macedonia that come from sweet fruits. 

Јагода - Strawberry

Малина - Raspberry  

Вишна - Sour Cherry 

Калина (калинка) - Pomgranete 

Дуња - Quince 

Лимонка (лимон) - Lemon 

Isn't it fun? All the inspiration that people find in the sweet taste of the fruits! 

Do you have names in your language coming from the names of the fruits? Share with us!
