Амиджев

Bulgarian

Etymology

From Ottoman Turkish عمیجه (ʼamıca) +‎ -ев (-ev).

(Can this(+) etymology be sourced? Particularly: “Can the particular Ottoman pronunciation chosen be verified to be valid? The reference cites "Turkish amca", but this is less convincing on the surface than ʼamıca, however I don't speak Turkish, so the etymology may not be diachronically consistent.”)
