Greek Kallikantzaros
Bulgarian Karakoncul
Serbian Karakoncula
English Wiki
gives the kalos-kentauros (beautiful horseman) as the first origin!?!? Beautiful horse-man?
I think it's a crystal clear Turkish word
>Kara-konçlu (Turkish for "black legged/calf")
The most likely origin of the versions of Kallikantzaros in the Balkan languages is the Turkish 'black-legged'.
This is better understood when you look at the picture of this mythological character.
