Ulitsa Felix Kanitz. Felix Kanitz was an Austrian-Hungarian naturalist and ethnographer who died in 1904.

Kanitz is regarded as one of the most profound ethnographers of the Southern Slavs and well-respected in both Serbia and Bulgaria.

Wikipedia mentions streets named after him in Varna and Sofia, but not this one in Plovdiv.
