Accepimus autem, quod cum nuper Venerabilis frater noster Spalatensis Archiepiscopus Patarenos non paucos de Spalatensi et Traguriensi Civitatibus effugasset, nobilis vir Culinus Banus Bossinus iniquitati eorum non solum tutu m latibulum, sed et presidium contulit manifestum ... ", name probably derived from the medieval Germanic term banus, medieval political and administrative charge:" ... Nos Joannes Corvinus liptoviensis et opaviensis dux, regnorum quoque Dalmatiae, Croatiae, Sclavoniae Banus .. . ", we cannot exclude, even if unlikely a derivation from modifications of names derived from the Germanic words barth or bandwo.
