The name Belinac might come from the Celtic god's name Belenos, the sun, with common latin end in *ac-(um) indicating a villa or settlement. |

(2006-02-17) | To Werner. Thanks a lot, I didn't know. Tracking Celtic names in Croatia (a lot remaining...Andautonia, Segesta, Marsonia, etc...) it might explain Bjelovar Town's name... if it doesn't come from Slav Belo/Bjelo= white fortress. |
