Description

Our reasoning is based on the premise that the toponym “Car” (i.e. Tsar, Emperor) bears witness to imperial presence at the respective place. The toponym “Car” obviously indicates, apart from a possible physical presence of the Serbian Emperor, also a possibility of a causal link with the Byzantine Emperor or the Bulgarian Tsar. The toponym Cara Livada is attested in the unpublished “Azbučna kartoteka na toponimi od istorisko-geografska Makedonija”, which is kept in the Krste Misirkov Institute of Macedonian Language (Ss. Cyril and Methodius University of Skopje). Trifunoski explained the toponym as a remnant of the presence of the Ottoman ruler during the conquest of this area.
