Name

I've been bold and moved to Ana Terter, there is no need for "of Bulgaria" as per Primary topic (She was the daughter of the ruler of Bulgaria, but Queen consort of Serbia = confusion). Gbook hits:

  • "Ана Тертер" (10 results), used in 7 Serbian sources, 3 Bulgarian
  • "Anne Terter" (7 results), used in French sources
  • "Анна Тертер" (6 results), used in Bulgarian sources
  • "Ana Terter" (1), used in English source
  • "Anna Terter" (1), used in Italian source

Furthermore, there are more hits in Bulgarian for "Ана [...] съпруга/кралица" than for "Анна" etc. I'll update if I find another variation in the future.--Zoupan 00:06, 10 August 2012 (UTC)

It seems like google books could be a bit misleading when used to determine Bulgarian names. Bulgarian historiography overwhelmingly treats her as Anna Terter. This is certainly the case with Plamen Pavlov and Krasimir Krastev's works. Otherwise, there's no objection to the removal of the Bulgarian bit, since there is no need to distinguish her from any other possible Anas or Annas. --Laveol T 21:05, 11 August 2012 (UTC)
The Bulgarian and Serbian Academy uses "Ана Тертер".--Zoupan 21:39, 11 August 2012 (UTC)
As I said, the two authors with works on the subject use the name Anna Terter'. I do not know if the Bulgarian Academy of Sciences, for example, uses another name. I personally do not mind if the name is Ana or Anna as it has little difference to me. I just note what Bulgarian sources have to say on the matter. --Laveol T 22:00, 11 August 2012 (UTC)
The Bulgarian Academy of Sciences uses the name Anna Terter (see the new edition of The Great Encyclopedia „Bulgaria“. Volume: I. Sofia: BAS, 2011. pp 69-70)--Nauka (talk) 10:01, 13 August 2012 (UTC)
