Explanation On Variations
The mutation of 'g' into 'h' (Cyrillic: г) occurred in the Ukrainian, and Belarusian languages, due to transformation of spelling from Cyrillic alphabet into Latin. The Cyrillic г/г in Russian is pronounced as g, while in Ukrainian and Belarusian as h. That also can be noted in Czech and Slovak languages that changed from Cyrillic alphabet to Latin.
In Poland, however, Bohdan is accepted alongside Bogdan.

Famous quotes containing the words explanation and/or variations:
“We live between two worlds; we soar in the atmosphere; we creep upon the soil; we have the aspirations of creators and the propensities of quadrupeds. There can be but one explanation of this fact. We are passing from the animal into a higher form, and the drama of this planet is in its second act.”
—W. Winwood Reade (1838–1875)
“I may be able to spot arrowheads on the desert but a refrigerator is a jungle in which I am easily lost. My wife, however, will unerringly point out that the cheese or the leftover roast is hiding right in front of my eyes. Hundreds of such experiences convince me that men and women often inhabit quite different visual worlds. These are differences which cannot be attributed to variations in visual acuity. Man and women simply have learned to use their eyes in very different ways.”
—Edward T. Hall (b. 1914)
