Are you sure about the dazh = sun root? In Bulgarian there is not such relation. A better explanation is that dazh is an imperative form of dati (to give). --Nk 08:21, 22 Oct 2004 (UTC)
- You are correct. Dajbog is literally The Giving God, i.e. an illustration of a common practice of calling deity not by the proper name, but rather by the epithet. --Gene s 11:57, 5 Nov 2004 (UTC)
- The etymology of Dazhbog's name is unclear. Noone realy knows what it meant. --Hier0phant 17:08, 21 December 2005 (UTC)

[edit] Dajbog
Well, I'm sure it is not so unclear. The name clearly means - the one given by god - or: the one who hands out the gifts of god - for he was the son of the Sun god and he helped the farmers and so on - so he gave them the gifts of life. I know the language...
You should consider that Dazd, or Дажд is the old Slavic word for the rain. Dajbog or Dažbog then would be God of Rain, the one who gives the fertility to the land. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 89.216.58.82 (talk) 12:22, 16 July 2010 (UTC)
[edit] Dajbog
Father of the Serbs and son of Svarog. God of the sun, of world of dead. He is reprezented as wolf which limps and with just one eye. its very similar to Odin, the highest god in Nordic mythology.
In Ukraine there's a cheerful saying "Dajbog everything will be fine". Is there any connection with Dajbog? If it's so, it's pretty wild that the saying is around when the religion is barely even a myth.--Grigoryev 03:18, 12 May 2005 (UTC)
[edit] Dajbog
I am intrigued by this mythology. My family surname in what is now Belarus was Dajbog. And the family were observant Jews. Any thoughts about how they might have chosen that name? Is it at all possible that it was chosen derisively for them because it sounds somewhat like Dybbuk?? [user: Joy]
[edit] Etymology
This section:
The meaning of Dažbog’s name came from the old Slavic Animal Clans, Dažbog originally came from the wolf clan people and was not associated with a man or a god. The wolves taught humans to hunt in groups and those who aligned with right relationship based on the wolf family understood the nature of their own human relationships in a group. Today, werewolf is a mis-understanding of the dark shadow nature of the human predator, and the projection of the black wolf has almost made it extinct from religions abolishment of the old ways. Werewolf has nothing to do with the original shamanic wolf clan medicines.
is entirely uncited. Furthermore, it's such obvious unencyclopedic nonsense that I'm removing it outright. -- Kolbasz (talk) 01:06, 3 March 2011 (UTC)
