Karaciejus

Cf. lit. Charatei, Karachei and Kvaraciẽi (see). Maybe surn. Karachi is later, „sulietuvinta“ of *Karacejus. It seems that there is reason to suspect that pvd is also later. Kvaraciẽjus - from Karaciẽjus: with an embedded consonant v ¹. This lit. surnames are primarily associated with Russian surnames of Turkic origin such as Каpачей, Каpачеев, further - with Kapameй, Каpатев and so on. ². See also Karate.
