Supposedly a male given name. At best it’s a rare variant spelling of the medieval Slavic god ; as a given name it doesn’t seem attestable (and I’d be quite surprised if it was). — Vorziblix (talk · contribs) 15:31, 19 August 2019 (UTC)

 * Speedied. This looks like the work of BrunoMed, whose modus operandi was to use scripts to create large blocks of entries with identical contents from word lists. This is obviously one of the many cases where they didn't check their word list, and created an entry for a word that didn't fit their canned definition. Chuck Entz (talk) 03:07, 20 August 2019 (UTC)
 * Also: Bjelbog, Bjelobog, Crnobog, Crnbog, Dabog, Domovoj, Gerovit, Jarilo, Jarovit, Jutrobog, Porenut, Svarog, Svjetlobog, Triglav, Troglav, and Zlebog. See Special:Contributions/Sheldonium. Apparently the list they were using was a general list of names that included mythological figures as well as men. Based on past behavior, I have a hunch that there are going to be names of obscure Balkan historical figures as well, many of them predating the introduction of surnames and thus likely never used as given names. You'll notice that they included a Serbo-Croatian and an English entry for each, which means that even the ones that are legitimate Serbo-Croatian given names will often be unattested in English. this really needs someone who knows enough Croatian to spot the mistakes- any chance you could go through these?

 * I’ve deleted another series of mythological figures (Hors, Banik, Vodanoj, Pokola, Bjelun, Vodan, Drinus, Rugovit, Svantevid) and early Croatian (really Avar/Bulgar) rulers whose names aren’t even Slavic but transcribed from Turkic languages via Greek (Kuber, Porin, Porga). — Vorziblix (talk · contribs) 16:06, 20 August 2019 (UTC)
