1. Sanjak, the Turkish land administration unit, is in Serbian written as "Санџак/Sandžak". Senjak is written as "Сењак/Senjak". The visual connection between these two names exists only in the English transcription, but not in Serbian. Either way, there were no Sanjaks near Belgrade during the Ottoman rule, and Belgrade itself was a part of the Belgrade Pašaluk (a different type of land unit).
2. Same thing with "seljak" ("peasant"), which in Serbian Cyrillic is "сељак". DIfferent word, pronounced differently.
I've asked a friend from the Serbian Language & Literature Department of the Faculty of Philology (Belgrade) to look up the roots of the name, so you'll know when I know. I'll also try to get a hold of some photos for the article (or take a walk and make a couple myself) :) Tennotsukai 20:25, 25 September 2006 (UTC)
I've finally managed to find the info. Apparently, local peasants once used to store their hay ("seno" in Serbian) in one part of the Kalemegdan. The hey barns there were destroyed in a fire in 1857, and the peasants started using a municipal lot on a hill above the Sava river. The lot was used for storing hay for several years, so the lot and the surrounding area got the name Senjak (a bit hard to transfer to English, sort of like saying "a place with hay" in one word).
