What is the meaning of the name Kosovo?

Answer 1

"Blackbird's" actually! It's possessive noun, abbreviation of Kosovo Polje, or "blackbird's field" in English. In Shqipe, or Albanian language if you liked, it goes somehow like " mulizezë-së fushe"... if you trust Google translate, in their language Kosovo means nothing, they just replaced last letter "o" with "a", so that it sounds Shqipe. But generally it's Serbian noun, for Serbian part of their southern province, or whatever is it now, but... that's another issue! Dig it now?

Answer 2

One theory about the name Kosovo, states that Kosovo is the Croatian neuter possessive adjective of kos (кос) "blackbird", an ellipsis for "field of the Blackbirds", the site of the 1389 Battle of Kosovo Field. The name of the field was applied to an Ottoman province created in 1864.
