I must write this first - Please don't take me wrong, my intensions are not malicious.
Since there are several Croats active on this forum I have a question for them mostly, but also anyone else who could be familiar with this issue is welcome to answer this.
The question is - How come surname Horvat is mostly found in regions which are not I2a2 dominant regions? That is, as far as I know this surname is mostly found in Northwest Croatia (Kajkavian dialect region), Hungary and also in Slovenia.
If there are people who could be connected to this surname it seems to me that those should be R1a people (but not R1a1a7). I think that for answering this question it might be good to remind about two
medieval Croatian states - Panonian and Littoral.
To prove that I'm just searching for the truth I will write my current opinion that "Serb" as a name is very possibly connected to Sorbs in east Germany, and it is also known that they are mostly R1a (and I guess not R1a1a7).
