Name
editIn 1431 the toponym is listed as Uskoroyadis.[3] Linguist Yordan Zaimov reconstructs the form as Сковради, Skorovadi and derives it from Old Slavic, from сковрада, Skorovada meaning 'coal pan; pan' and Ylli writes is not supported by the oldest evidence of the name.[3] He states an adjectival formation, сковрада+-уд, Skorovada+-ud would have yielded Скоражда, Skorazhda and no reliable basic form can be reconstructed from the oldest evidence.[3]
The name may be related to Bulgarian скоро ядещ, skoro yadesh as a term for 'someone who eats quickly'.[3] Ylli writes a formation from a personal name Скоро, Skoro and a family name is also possible, but the second part would be unclear.[3] In both cases, only the first part is preserved in the present form.[3]
