I don't know if "Severnaya" is also a place name, but I recognize it as the feminine nominative singular form of the Russian adjective "severnyj," meaning "northern."

Somebody mentioned Bojinka, which is apparently a word in Serbocroatian. The Slavic languages are pretty close to one another. Does Serbocroatian also have a form identical to or close to Russian "severnaya"?
