Prodan

Prodan (Bulgarian and Serbian: Продан) is a South Slavic (Bulgarian[1] and Serbian[2]) masculine given name, itself a passive adjective (prodan) from Slavic prodati–"to sell", hence meaning "sold".[2] It is attested in Bulgarian[1] and Serbian[2] society since the Middle Ages. It is apotropaic (protective),[2] found in Serbian naming culture along with popular names such as Vuk, Nenad, Staniša and others.[3] Some adopted children were historically also given that byname.[4] Variants and diminutives of the name found in Serbian culture include Prodanac (Проданац), Prodanko (Проданко), Proka (Прока), Proko (Проко), Prokašin (Прокашин), Prole (Проле), Proca (Проца), Proša (Проша), Projo (Пројо), and others.[2] Variants and diminutives of the name found in Bulgarian culture include Prode (Проде), Prodyo (Продьо), Prodiyo (Продю), Prodanko (Проданко), Proyko (Пройко), Proye (Пройе), Proyo (Пройо), and others.[1] The patronymic surnames Prodanić, Prodanov and Prodanović are derived from the name.
