You know what does "grejci"(greeks) in old macedonian means? It means "newcomers", you can check it in Aegean Macedonia. And what means "ela"(ellada) in greek? You know what it means.

To the margin of any territorial discussion, the place is impressively beautiful as the whole north coast of the Salonic Gulf. Very good the photo. Exact the moment and the light.

Congratulations from Majorca [Spain].

Hellas-Etymology: From Ancient Greek (Hellas "Greece"), from prefix - (el- "sun, bright, shiny", (elios, "sun")) + (las "rock, stone"). : "The land of the sun and the rock".

Respectfully to one user who used many uncensored words I'd like to translate to him "yours" version of the name of the city. Thessalonica is combination of two parts of which first "thessalo" means thessalians(a.k.a greeks in the time it was named) and "nika" means "victory" which in whole means "victory over tessalians". Filip II named it after his daughter which was named in memory of the victorious battle against greeks which macedonians won. pozz :)

You didn't tell us what "Solun" means in the bulgarian dialect you use in Vardarska (former Yugoslavia, former Bulgaria etc etc).

Of course the above post shows once again how wrong they teach you history.

You are Bulgarians, there's nothing strange or bad in it.
