[Sca-cooks] nafila fatima?

[Johnna Holloway]

Can you get the exact name in Macedonian? (Or in Greek?)
Are there variations and do those have other names?
Which ethnic group or religious faith is it connected with?
I am thinking that more clues might give us more to go on.
I will check my Ottoman books.
