Abstract

Gypsies have been living in the land of Bulgaria for centuries. The surrounding population refers to them with the generic name Tsigani and perceives them as one whole undifferentiated community. It is true that all Gypsies in Bulgaria belong to the Roma stream and that Roma is also their common self-appellation; however, they are internally divided into various groups, subgroups and metagroup units and they entered Bulgaria gradually with several waves of migration.
