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:
“Natural selection, the blind, unconscious, automatic process which Darwin discovered, and which we now know is the explanation for the existence and apparently purposeful form of all life, has no purpose in mind. It has no mind and no mind’s eye. It does not plan for the future. It has no vision, no foresight, no sight at all. If it can be said to play the role of the watchmaker in nature, it is the blind watchmaker.”
—Richard Dawkins (b. 1941)
“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)
