Studies[edit]
The Zabrozi are mentioned in BG after the Vuillerozi and before the Znetalici. Their name is dual-lexeme, made up of Zab and suffix -rozi, which is also found in the Sebbirozi, Attorozi, Vuillerozi and Chozirozi.[1][2]
According to the Czechoslovakian academy, their name is unclear. P. Šafárik identified the name as Zaprozi and connected it to Zaporozhia, a region on the Dnieper. A. Králiček identified it as Zabrce, a name he claimed was known since antiquity in the Carpathians that point to the Dacians, or Zabrodce, by etymology connected to Slavic brod.[3] Some connect it to Sabirs (or Sawars).[4]
