Milovana? Why?

I feel like this might be a question most of us have? Why is the site named Milovana?

It is translated "Mistress" from some language. Don't remember which.

I was wondering that myself... good to know!

But then... why Serbian and not another language?

I believe it might just have been the owner of this site's decision.

I always wonder why...seems reasonable and unique enough in the global sense.

and to get deeper....."Mistress - For The Explorer At Heart"....are the Dominate females the only ones that are supposed to be exploring or is is the submissives that are suppose to be exploring for the Mistresses???? *giggling*

I just google translated it, and Milovana is Serbian for 'stroked', so perhaps it's a different language/doesn't mean mistress/google is wrong :P

Never ever ever trust online translators. To start with, in most languages 1 word can mean different things depending on a context and form. Second, google has very poor dictionary for a smaller languages. And third, it's partly filled by the users (as wikipedia), thus sometimes not very accurate, or inaccurate at all.

'cause I don't care for hippos, but I like cats. And I love catboys (they're like regular guys but with cat ears- occasionally a headband). So adorable and/or hot.

Incidentally, according to wikipedia (though Nezhul is right about its reliability) June 18 is Milovana in Slovakia (named for a saint, I think- I don't quite understand though).

A coincidence, I'm sure.

that is exactly the reason for the frequent uses of latin.
the meaning will never change.

Sorry to dig up an old thread, but I felt like this should not remain unanswered.

The word "milovaná" is Slovak for "lady, mistress". It was originally intended to be the name for a PCM-like program that I was planning to write in 2005, but when that didn't happen, it became the name for this site instead.
