Interesting. I do not speak either language, so I am only going by information from an old Russian gentleman I received well over 20 years ago when I obtained my first Bulgarian Luger. According to him, the word was pronounced the same (a rough phonetic approximation would be ah-go-in) in both languages and was therefore spelled the same.
