I think the Slavic name was/is 'Dorostol'. Nowadays the metropolian
of this region still has the title of "mitropolit Dorostolsko-
Chervenski". The other medieval name of the Latin
Durostorum, 'Dr&st&r' ('Dristra'), is certainly proto-Bulgarian. It
occurs as a personal name as well - a local governor under tsar
Simeon, called Drist&r, is mentioned in the 904 AD inscription from
New Philadephia near Thessaloniki and in one church text of that
period.
