Bekeša

Cf. polish (?) Bekiesz ¹, bRuss. Бекеша: BRuss. бекеш „ilgas vyriškas drabužis from audeklo“ ², lit. (from sl.) bèkeš „šiltas viršutinis žiemos apdaras, trumpesnis už apsiaustą“ (LKŽ I 735). It is believed that the common word in Polish. bekiesza may be a retrograde derivation from Pol. bekieszka, which is a derivative of pers.n. Bekesz (King Stephen Bathory's commander), cf. polish batorówka „toks galvos apdangalas“: Bator; radziwiłka „toks medžiotojo drabužis“: Radziwiłł ³. Lieut. surn. Bekešà, Bėkešas are probably not derived from the loan word bēkešas in Lithuanian, but came to Lithuania from the Slavs, cf. still Russian (Ukrainian?) Бекешъ ⁴, kaz. Бекеш ⁵.
