This study deals with the epithet and ktetic Beracelenόs, Berakelian on a votive plaque, dedicated to Apollo and Asclepius from the village of Krupac which is some eight kilometers from the town of Pirot. Taking into consideration the opinions presented in the literature, the study presents the following thoughts on the topic: The ancient name of the village of Krupac is Thracian and it reads Berakela (*Beracέl(l)a, *Beracέl(l)e) which would literally mean dark spring or muddy spring and before it became the name of the place, it was the name of the fracture, mostly thermo-mineral spring of Krupačka banjica near Krupačka močvara swamp which is a (fish)pond today, created by the water release. The contemporary name of the village Krupac could have been at first a local name for an area of dry land in the middle of the swamp and would have read *Krupa referring to the original location of the place on the higher ground than the fracture, mostly thermo-mineral spring of Krupačka banjica near the Krupačka močvara swamp which is today's (fish)pond, created by the water release. The contemporary name Krupac i.e. the dialectal form Krup'c would thus be formed from the original name of the village with the adjective krupski, *Krupsko selo or similar and via the old locative singular *v Krupsci (selѣ) or similar, and in the younger form *v Krupci, from which the new nominative form Krupac (Krup'c) was then created. The village of Krupac got its ancient name Berakela and the modern one Krupac could have got from the local fracture, mostly thermal-mineral spring Krupačka banjica and the nearby Krupačka močvara swamp which is a (fish)pond today, created by the spring - in ancient times by the spring and swamp and more recently by the strip of dry land in the middle of that spring and nearby swamp, where the village itself was originally created.
Kot navaja Etimološki slovar srbskega jezika, izhaja poleonim Bar iz latinskega Barium ali Antibarium, pri čemer se je pripona Anti- morda izgubila v slovanskem govoru: Antibarium > *Ǫtьbarь > *Udbar > *Ubar > *u Bar > Bar. Pričujoči prispevek po drugi strani dokazuje, da poleonim Bar v resnici izhaja iz romanske oblike *Antibarī, ki je svojo predpono izgubila deloma v slovanskem in deloma v romanskem govoru. Članek tako predlaga naslednji etimološki razvoj: rom. *Antibarī > balk. rom. *Antibari > *Tibari > jsl. *t(q) ba Ðr×q > *dba Ðr×q > stsrb. ba Ðr×q > ba Ðrq > srb. Bar in Bȁr.
V zadnjih treh desetletjih se v Srbiji ponovno pojavlja romantična, paraznanstvena, tako imenovana nacionalna zgodovina. Ta v svoji najnovejši pojavni obliki trdi, da so Srbi avtohtoni prebivalci Podonavja in Balkana, tako rekoč Praindoevropejci v svoji pradomovini, srbščina pa naj bi bila indoevropski prajezik. Ti kvazizgodovinarji brez znanstvenih argumentov so, naslanjajoč se na glasoslovne asociacije, obenem tudi kvazietimologi in trdijo, da Ptolemajevo mesto Serbinon v Panoniji dokazuje, da so že v antiki Srbi živeli v Podonavju in na Balkanu. Resni znanstveni in etimološki dokazi pa to »prasrbsko« etimologijo v celoti zavržejo in razkrijejo, da gre za panonski ilirski toponim *Sérbinom, ki približno pomeni »mesto z žrelom/vodno sotesko, iz katere(ga) bruha voda, z vodno globeljo« ali »kraj, kjer je žrelo jame ali votline, brezno«; ali še bolje, »kraj z vodnim virom/izvirom ali (?) rečnim izvirom« oz. »kraj z virom termalne vode«. Toponim sestavlja indoevropski koren *serbh- »srkati, goltati; kapljati, curljati; žrelo; žrelo jame ali votline, brezno« in ilirska pripona za tvorbo toponimov -inom, ta se denimo najde v poimenovanju *Altinom (*Altinon, Altinum) ipd. Sodeč po Ptolemajevi Geografiji bi se koordinate tega toponima lahko približno ujemale z današnjim madžarskim krajem Villánykövesd oz. z današnjo hrvaško Cabuno ali s hrvaškim krajem Gradina, obe lokaciji pa se nahajata v bližini Virovitice ob madžarski meji.
In this article, under challenge is the etymology of the Serbian name Uros from nonoun ourx and, by refuting false etyma, the new etymology is given from hypocoristic Uro of Dalmatic origin. Morphemic tree of the name is interpreted and shown in onomastics and toponymy, as well as the name alone appearing through time in area of a national type, so as reception of the name in other languages. Mediaeval titular usage of the name is scrutinized as well as it's connotations, coming into appellative for reason of 'rusty hairs' of Rascian great zupan Uros (I) most probably, so as it's subsequent development in ornithonym, further appellatives and phytonym. Under deliberation is the question of 'rusty hairs' in members of Serbian ruling dynasties.
