Nediljka

Nediljka is a South Slavic feminine given name derived from the Croatian and Serbian word nedjelja or nedelja, meaning Sunday, which itself traces back to the Old Church Slavonic nedělya, literally meaning a day of no work or rest day. The name was traditionally given to girls born on a Sunday, a naming custom common across Slavic cultures. It is used primarily in Croatia and among Croatian diaspora communities. Related forms include the masculine Nediljko and the broader Slavic cognates Nedela and Nedelya found in Bulgarian and Macedonian traditions.
