Surname Poropat is not of Istro-Romanian origin, that theory is uncritically and unreasonably considered and pushed by linguist Gordan Filipi or those who ideologically studied the Istro-Romanians and hence decided to label all the Romanian words and surnames in Istria as Istro-Romanian, which is ideological nonsense. There’s no evidence and indication it is related to Istro-Romanians or Istro-Romanian language. The surname was not recorded among the Istro-Romanians in Eastern Ćićarija or Čepić field, who spoke a Chakavian dialect, yet actually, in exact contrary, in Istria it has arrived in early 16th century in a separate migration from Dalmatia, probably from around Zagora or river Cetina, and in Istria was only in specific Ikavian Shtokavian-Chakavian oasis (villages Dane, Trstenik, Vodice, Jelovice, Rašpor) where the Romanian words were almost absent. The surname form Poropat, instead of older form Farapat (“fara” without, “pat” bed), indicates it did not arrive with the Istro-Romanians because the older form was not preserved like the surname Faraguna which probably arrived with them.
Oh daughter of Dork,
second letter in You should not be capitalized.
More research shows his wife Helena came with him in 1906.
Love you two.
