Arnaut (Ottoman Turkish: آرناﺌود) is a Turkish term used to denote Albanians.〔(Arnaut ) at the Free Dictionary〕 In modern Turkish the term is used as ''Arnavut'' (pl. ''Arnavutlar''). Ottoman mercenary formations were also called ''Arnauts'', though this was a generic name, as the mercenaries were composed of Greeks, Albanians, Bulgarians and Serbs, who served as bodyguards.〔(Gordon Thomas, History of the Greek revolution, 1844, London & Edinburgh, 2nd edition, volume 1, page 95. ) "Included under the generic name of Arnauts, it was recruited from Roumeliote Greeks, Albanians, Bulgarians and Servians, who acted as body-guards to the princes, the great functionaries, and even the simple Boyards."〕 In the Danubian Principalities, it was also used to denote various mercenary units.〔(Alan W. Fisher, ''The Russian Annexation of the Crimea 1772-1783'', Cambridge University Press, I970, pp. 94, 95. )〕 In Serbo-Croatian usage, the word ''Arnaut(in)'' was also used as a pejorative, meaning "evil", "malicious" and "murderous", used as a nickname - for instance, one Serbian family got the surname Arnautović from an ancestor who was a murderer and was nicknamed "Arnautin". In Ukraine, Albanians who lived in Budzhak and later also settled in the Azov Littoral of Zaporizhia Oblast are also known as Arnauts.〔(Seven ethnographical miracles of Ukraine ). Ukrayinska Pravda. May 13, 2014〕 The city of Odessa has two streets Great Arnaut Street and Little Arnaut Street.〔 ==Surnames derived from the word== *al-Arnaut (アラビア語:ارناؤوطي, ارناؤوط, ارناوطي) *Arnautović and Arnautić (Serbo-Croatian) *Arnaudov (Macedonian) *Arnaoutis (Greek) *Arnautov or Arnaudov (Bulgarian) *Arnăutu (Romanian). *Arnautski (Jewish) *Arnaut (Portuguese) 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Arnauts」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
