I'm named after my grandfather, Nenko, my father's father. Nenko is not a common Bulgarian name like Georgi or Ivan, yet it's not really unusual. When I talk to people, especially foreigners, they sometimes say that my name sounds Asian, like Japanese or something...
So, here's what its all about (in Japanese):
| Pronounced "nen" Means: Year
|
| Pronounced " koh " Means: Service |
"Nenko" means a long period of service, literally "years" and "service".
It can also be translated as ''seniority'' (
