He in person not but his surname is indeed etymologically Sorb.

Serbs have surname Baljak which is similar as Ballack https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Baljak

Also exist villages Baljci populated only or predominantly with Serbs (Baljci is plural of Baljak)

Pretty similar. The onomast Jürgen Udolph (originally a slavist btw.) states it comes ultimately from Balthasar: https://www.saechsische.de/plus/name...n-1298425.html

Is the etymology of Baljak considered Slavic or also from Balthasar? The latter would be my guess.

Are there any Germanic surnames in Serbdom?

I don't mean Germanic surnames inherited from modern migrants into Serbia, but surnames inherited from ancestral Germanic language speakers.

I didn't find anything about the etymology of surname Baljak in the Serbian sources. Villages Baljci near Tomislavgrad and in Dalmatia are probably named by Baljci in East Herzegovina. Herzegovinian Baljci belonged to area of Mirilović clan whose members moved to Dalmatia in early 16th century. They also founded village Mirlović Polje near Dalmatian Baljci and Mirlović Zagora near Šibenik.

Super East Slavic face, about stereotypical Russian-looking. Pretty lady, I'd say Balto-Nordid+something slightly Asiatic/Mordvin. I think it's possible that a little bit of Finno-Ugrian admixture is innate within the East Slavic people (although maybe more Baltic, as far as non-Slavic influence?), from early Iron Age contacts.

(...) Sure is, however, that 90+% of all genetic offspring of Sorbs in that AD 1000 map is in Germans. I've something like 10-15% of my ancestry from that area which as an educated guess equals abt. 4-7% historical Sorb ancestry. I've also ancestry west of what is shown as the old Sorb territory and that indigenous population there is abt. 30% Slavic in genetics and what else than Sorbs should they have hailed from? Taking that into account, I estimate myself to have 7-10% historical Sorb ancestry.

This is a good and enlightening map. Brown colour refers to linguistical Sorbs.
