BULGARIAN BULGARIAN
In 681 AD, the First Bulgarian Empire was founded by General Asparuh, a leader of the Bulgarian tribes. After his successful military campaigns, he established a state that became one of the first major political entities in Southeast Europe. This marked the beginning of a significant cultural and political influence in the region that would last for centuries. The establishment of the empire also laid the groundwork for the development of the Bulgarian identity and Orthodox Christianity.
Orthodox (ορθοδόξος) in Greek means correct both in worship and belief. It is derived from the combination of όρθος/orthos (correct, straight, without deviation) and δόξα/doxa (glory or worship) or δοκείν/dokein (to teach). In fact, the names of the Orthodox Church in Bulgarian, Russian, Serbian, etc. reflects and reinforces more the 'doxa' etymology. Thus orthodox in this context should be understood more as 'correct in worship' and the claim 'correct in belief' should be regarded as implicit.
