I believe the Dove is representative of sailors and seafaring in early Akkadian / Sumerian culture --- 2300-2200BC --- In a most prominent depiction, King Sargon is surrounded by a cloud of doves --- This king and those who preceeded / succeeded him were called "masters of the universe, and "of the four corners" --- which referred to their dynastic successes in shipping between the Mediterranean, the Persian gulf, and beyond. <br /><br />The Anatolian / Greek island of Kalymnos is known as "the pearl divers island", and is within the territory of their prominent maritime power of Ancient times. Neighboring locales, Ionia and Miletus also figure heavily in the rise of maritime industries including Navies that acted as mercenaries in the region (Greece, Egypt, and Mesopotamian impacts and influences at different times)<br /><br />In my perspective the "doves" are not indistinct from the "pearl divers" --- to me, the doves would have followed the ships and their captains, and the crew mates they employed as well --- this is why the word "Columb" has such an extensive cross-cultural translation <br /><br />In Czech, the words "Holi / Holub" are associated with this, and they also bring a slightly different interpretation, meaning in most cases "bare / naked" --- this makes more sense when you find that the original pearl divers of Greece were known to descend from boats with rocks tied to their completely nude bodies<br /><br />I hope you will appreciate this contribution - it is a little bit personally interesting to meThe Aerospace Casehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02008543098068303210noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8743102750721348863.post-54753759685922043622021-08-29T11:03:28.902-07:002021-08-29T11:03:28.902-07:00I too have a related name (Golbe, an Americanizati...I too have a related name (Golbe, an Americanization of Golombek) <br /><br />Came here trying to figure out if Golub/Columb/Paloma etc are also related to the Biblical name Jemima.

So...Also the Romanian verb for to LOVE is ”a iubi”. So basically its the slavic ”ljubi” without the initial ”L” sound. Romania is Serbias neighbour to the North East. <br />You mentioned the word ljubavnica which of course has a correspondent in the old-timely Romanian word ”ibovnica” meaning mistress, out-of-wedlock partner. (I know the word from an old folk song :)))<br />In the old days the verb ”a iubi” in its transitive form was used to mark affection of any kind. ”s-au iubit” literally means ”they loved each other” which can refer to the sentiment but also as an active verb, in this case kissing, petting or even intercourse.

Is there a place called Columb in Romania? No, it isnt. But there is a village in the hilly south called GOLUMBU (golumb + definit article). Due to a birocratic error in the early XIX-th century a branch of the family GOLUMBEANU (man from Golumb) shifted to the similar sounding Columbeanu. (even now, most Columbeanus can be found only in that region).<br />Romania has a rich slavic heritage from the 6th - 10th centuries and a latin cultural heritage that predates it (Second and Third Centuries and continuos influence from the southern Bizantin Empire). I was curious how a village lost between the hills got its name. Was it via Latin? Was it via a Slavic dialect? Amazing read either way.

They seem rather artificial than naturally developped.<br /><br />The encryption is based on the direct opposite of grammar rules and linguistic ensconces. Compare [OE] to [ENG] for example, also trace down the roots in (Roman) Latin and Greek, and very often the definition of a word is entirely different or exactly the opposite.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08349046168890019429noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8743102750721348863.post-4071284287611044332018-06-25T01:17:27.928-07:002018-06-25T01:17:27.928-07:00My last name is "Golob", I'm studyin...My last name is "Golob", I'm studying german philology and one of my favourite TV series is "Columbo"....so, for me it's very interesting to read, that there is a etymological connection. :) ty for thisAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8743102750721348863.post-37746991194020314432016-10-07T08:50:49.894-07:002016-10-07T08:50:49.894-07:00Fun read!Fun read!Appleshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11648163814365403252noreply@blogger.com
