1. Novak

   Novak (in Serbo-Croatian and Slovene; Cyrillic: Новак), Novák (in Hungarian, Czech and Slovak), Nowak (in German and Polish) is a Slavic surname and masculine given name, derived from the word for "new" (e.g. Polish: nowy, Czech: nový, Serbo-Croatian: novo / ново), which depending on the exact language and usage, translates as "novice", "new man", "newcomer", or "stranger". The name was often given to a new arrival in a city or a convert to Christianity. It was also used for newcomers to an army and as an occupational surname for people who used the slash-and-burn method to create new arable land—novina. It is pronounced almost the same way in most languages, with the stress on the first syllable. The main exception is Slovene, which places the stress on the last syllable. It is the most common surname in the Czech Republic, Poland, and Slovenia, and the sixth most common in Croatia. It is also found in Romania and Moldova in the Novac form and among Ashkenazi Jews in various forms depending on their country of origin.
