In response to Stan: according to my dictionary (the Random House Webster), Bohemian does mean "a Gypsy. -- adj." (entry # 4). Had my English vocabulary been richer, I wouldn't have used the term "synonym."
Btw., Ignat/giant + a = gitana; Ignat + illa = gitanilla (illa - Lat., "that;" cf. Dies irae, dies illa!)
The name Ignat comes from ignis ("fire"). One remembers St. Ignatius of Loyola and Spanish autosdafe. Speaking of Dostoevsky's rhymester, Khodasevich wrote an article "The Poetry of Ignat Lebyadkin" (1931).
