I cannot find a mention of vampires being unable to enter a dwelling uninvited in the appropriate section in Spences An Encyclopaedia of Occultism (1960), as is linked in references, (or 1920, which isn't) in the vampire subcategory or any other. I am new to wikipedia so unsure if this is because it is in a later edition (which I looked for but couldn't find) or in one of the references listed in the vampire entry in the source. It is of course possible that I could not find it. Some cursory research suggests that Leo Allatius' De Graecorum hodie quorundam opinationibus may discuss this also, but I cannot find an English language version of it. Apologies if this is formatted badly or if the listed source has the information and I missed it. Jinjajam (talk) 01:57, 8 August 2023 (UTC)[reply]
The etymology of the word itself is from Serbian old Slavonic language "pir" meaning dinning. And word "van" out, go outside. Which can be interpreted as getting out of grave and dinning 178.189.48.98 (talk) 10:53, 15 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Change "Serbian" to "Serbo-Croatian," as вампир entered Austrian German in the 1700s when literary standard Serbian wasn't yet differentiated as a separate entity from the later referenced Bosnian and Croatian. Linguistics' earliest reference of the language was Jacob Grimm's 1824 use of the term "Serbo-Croatian," making examples of Bosnian "вампир" self-evident and as autoreferential as saying Australian English "vampire" was borrowed from the British English "vampire." The way the article phrases it gives a chronologically confusing and incomplete look into the etymology of the word, and only stands to misinform the reader.
