Romanian names and surnames for men. Beautiful male and female Romanian names
A correctly chosen name has a strong positive impact on a person’s character, aura and destiny. Actively helps to develop, forms positive qualities of character and condition, strengthens health, removes various negative programs of the unconscious. But how to choose the perfect name?
Despite the fact that in culture there are poetic interpretations of what women's names mean, in reality the influence of the name on each girl is individual.
Sometimes parents try to choose a name before birth, preventing the child from developing. Attempts to use astrology are no longer applicable; astrology and numerology for choosing a name have squandered all serious knowledge about the influence of a name on fate over the centuries.
Christmastide calendars, holy people, without consulting a seeing, perspicacious specialist, do not provide any real assistance in assessing the influence of names on the fate of a child.
Popular lists, happy, beautiful, melodious female names are essentially generalizations, and completely turn a blind eye to the individuality, energy, and soul of the child.
Beautiful and modern Romanian names should first of all suit the child, and not the relative external criteria of beauty and fashion. Who don't care about your child's life.
Various characteristics according to statistics - positive traits of a name, negative traits of a name, choice of profession based on a name, the influence of a name on business, the influence of a name on health, the psychology of a name can only be considered in the context of a deep analysis of the character, energy structure, life goals and gender of a particular child.
Name Compatibility Topic(and not the characters of people) is an absurdity that turns the internal mechanisms of the influence of a name on the state of its bearer inside out on the interactions of different people. And it cancels the entire psyche, unconscious, energy and behavior of people. Reduces the entire multidimensionality of human interaction to one false characteristic.
Meaning of the name does not give full impact, it is only a small part of the impact. For example, Lyuba (love), this does not mean that the girl will be happy in family life, but bearers of other names are unhappy. The name can weaken her health, block her heart center and she will not be able to give and receive love. On the contrary, another girl will be helped to solve problems related to love or family, which will make life and achieving goals much easier. The third girl may not have any effect at all, whether there is a name or not. Etc. Moreover, all these children can be born on the same day. And have the same astrological, numerological and other characteristics. And the same name. But fates are different.
The most popular Romanian names for girls are also misleading. 95% of girls are called names that do not make their fate easier. You can only focus on the child’s innate character, spiritual vision and the wisdom of a specialist. And experience, experience and once again the experience of understanding what is happening.
The secret of a woman's name, as a program of the unconscious, a sound wave, vibration is revealed in a special bouquet primarily in a person, and not in the semantic meaning and characteristics of a name. And if this name destroys a child, then no matter how beautiful, melodious with the patronymic, astrologically accurate, blissful it is, it will still be harmful, destroy character, complicate life and burden fate.
Below is a list of Romanian names. Try to choose several that you think are most suitable for your child. Then, if you are interested in the effectiveness of the name’s influence on fate, .

Male Romanian surnames
One of the unique features of the language of this country is the lack of differences between Romanian given names and surnames. If we consider the word formation and morphological features of these words, their complete coincidence is revealed. Where the first or last name is located is determined based on two indicators.
- Word order in various speech situations. For example, in written official or colloquial speech the surname will come first, followed by the given name. In common parlance or books, the order of words is reversed.
- Abbreviations or affectionate forms have only names. Surnames are always used only in their full form.
Thus, when defining male Romanian names and surnames, it is worth clearly distinguishing situations and sources of their use.
Conclusion
Recently, the trend of giving newborns unusual, unique names has been gaining momentum. Romanian male names are increasingly receiving attention. Sonorous and smooth, special, they are suitable for discerning parents.

Attention! Sites and blogs have appeared on the Internet that are not our official sites, but use our name. Be careful. Fraudsters use our name, our email addresses for their mailings, information from our books and our websites. Using our name, they lure people to various magical forums and deceive (they give advice and recommendations that can harm, or lure money for performing magical rituals, making amulets and teaching magic). On our websites we do not provide links to magic forums or websites of magic healers. We do not participate in any forums. We do not give consultations over the phone, we do not have time for this. Note! We do not engage in healing or magic, we do not make or sell talismans and amulets. We do not engage in magical and healing practices at all, we have not offered and do not offer such services. The only direction of our work is correspondence consultations in written form, training through an esoteric club and writing books. Sometimes people write to us that they saw information on some websites that we allegedly deceived someone - they took money for healing sessions or making amulets. We officially declare that this is slander and not true. In our entire life, we have never deceived anyone. On the pages of our website, in the club materials, we always write that you need to be an honest, decent person. For us, an honest name is not an empty phrase. People who write slander about us are guided by the basest motives - envy, greed, they have black souls. The times have come when slander pays well. Now many people are ready to sell their homeland for three kopecks, and it is even easier to slander decent people. People who write slander do not understand that they are seriously worsening their karma, worsening their fate and the fate of their loved ones. It is pointless to talk with such people about conscience and faith in God. They do not believe in God, because a believer will never make a deal with his conscience, will never engage in deception, slander, or fraud. There are a lot of scammers, pseudo-magicians, charlatans, envious people, people without conscience and honor who are hungry for money. The police and other regulatory authorities have not yet been able to cope with the growing influx of "Deception for profit" madness. Therefore, please be careful!

|
The surname, as part of the full name, has a recent history in the world. Its consolidation in the documents of most countries began quite late, and its necessity, as Personal ID, gradually intensified due to internal migrations, the expansion of economic ties and the establishment of order in the institution of inheritance.
For the first time, surname as a mandatory identifier , appears in Italy after the corresponding decree of the Pope. This was due precisely to the growth of cities and the need to distinguish people with the same names. Later in France they took a similar step at the instigation of Catherine de Medici, and then the trend began to spread to other countries.
Despite the fact that this part of the full name in different countries has different roots and endings (the languages are different), the same factors take part in their formation, the only question is the percentage of family names of different categories . Where might the surname come from?
- From the family name. These were usually worn by the elite;
- On behalf of an ancestor. The patronymic turned into a surname;
- From the profession of an ancestor;
- From a place name that indicates where a person’s ancestor was from;
- From the nickname;
- By converting a foreign language for various reasons (usually political) into the language of the country of residence.
Moldavian and Romanian surnames are no exception here, and we will talk about them today.
Types of Romanian names and surnames
We will use the word “Romanian” in relation to the entire group, since the national language of both Moldovans and Romanians is the same. I would like to warn you right away: the article does not have a political connotation.
Eastern Romanesque ethnic groups- Moldovans and Romanians are interesting because they are at the intersection of Western European and Byzantine traditions. Their ancestors, who belonged to the Thracian tribes of the Dacians and Getae, were conquered by the Roman emperor Trajan and Romanized, that is, they switched to colloquial Latin. On this basis, the Wallachian ethnic groups began to form.
The exoethnonym “Vlach” was once used in the meaning of “Roman” (speaking one of the Romance languages) in Russian chronicles. During the Great Migration, they experienced a strong Slavic influence, and later entered the sphere of influence of the Byzantine Empire and adopted Christianity of the Eastern (Orthodox) rite.
In this regard, the names of today's Moldovans and Romanians are mostly Christian, adapted to the peculiarities of the language.
The most common names among Romanians
Male names
Recently, the names Andrei, Stefan, David, Mihai, Ionuts, Daniel and a number of others have become popular.
Female names
Andrea, Alexandra, Denise, Bianca and double names are also gaining popularity. In Moldova, a characteristic feature of female names is the existence of both Slavic and Romanesque names with the same meaning, for example:
Svetlana - Luminitsa
Nadezhda - Speranza
Classification of Romanian surnames by origin
The first similar surnames in the Wallachian and Moldavian principalities were acquired by representatives of the elite. The Wallachian principality was ruled by representatives of the Basarab family, and the Moldavian principality by the Mushatov.
Boyar aristocracy, which represented the top of the principalities, had a heterogeneous origin, both local and foreign - Greek, Russian (however, it was not completely foreign), Kipchak, Albanian. From here come the families of Ghika, Duka, Sturdza and others.
It would be a stretch to call them full surnames - their representatives could change them in different circumstances. Thus, during the rule of the Turks, the aristocracy often “Turkishized” their family name using the prefixes kara- and the suffix -oglo (I remember the hero of the second part of “Dead Souls” Konstanzhoglo), and after liberation from the Ottoman Empire the surname acquired the patronymic suffix -esku or upon acquisition citizenship of the Russian Empire (Kheraskov, for example).
Also, the descendants of the Phanariots, the Constantinople Greeks who accepted Ottoman citizenship and were used by the imperial authorities in various local and clerical positions, joined the aristocracy. They got their name from the Greek district of Istanbul - Phanar. The Phanariot genera include Mavrocordato, Muruzi, Katakazi, and Ypsilanti.
The majority of the population of pre-industrial states were peasants, and surnames of peasant origin rarely have any suffixes. Most often they come from the name or nickname of an ancestor, as well as from the area from which the ancestor came. Urban professions are reflected in the names of city residents.
Often Romanian and Moldovan surname indistinguishable from the name, especially in villages. Sometimes it comes from a name in a diminutive or some other evaluative form.
Romanian family suffixes
Unsuffixed surnames
Common in rural areas and among people from there. Occur most often from a name or nickname. Examples:
- Iancu, Dimitru, Ion, Ilie (from names)
- Ilinca, Ionel, Nitu (from modified names)
- Rusă, Turcu, Tătaru, Sîrbu (ancestor was a foreigner)
- Lupu, Neagu, Dabija (from nicknames)
-eanu
In some ways this suffix similar to Russian -yanin. Examples:
- Munteanu (either a man from the mountains, or - for Moldovans - a man from Wallachia)
- Braileanu (from Braila)
- Ungareanu (ancestor came from Hungary)
- Brașoveanu (from Brasov)
Sometimes a similar suffix was added to initially foreign names for the purpose of adaptation in a foreign language environment. So, the name of director Emil Loteanu is one of those. His ancestors from the Chernivtsi region were Lototsky, and when Bukovina was part of Romania, they became Loteanu. Sometimes this suffix occurs in surnames of Armenian origin (due to phonetic similarity).
-ea and -oiu
This group comes from one of the forms of the noun (verbal, possessive), there are many of them in Moldova and in Romanian villages.
Oprea, Ciurea, Vladoui, Lupea, Miroiu, Filipoiu
-aru
Most often these are “professionalisms”.
Spătaru, Rotaru, Fieraru, Pantofaru, Olaru.
-escu
This suffix is found in all Romance languages and dates back to Latin. There is more than one version about its origin (Greek, Ligurian, mixed), but the fact remains: this suffix formed adjectives, and in the Romanian language it became patronymic. He became popular among the elite and was initially found only among her; later city residents began to acquire surnames from this group. In rural areas it is less common.
It was also joined by people of non-Romanian origin in the 19th - early 20th centuries who lived on the national outskirts, for example, residents of the north of Bukovina and Bulgarians in the south. Listening examples:
Petrescu, Vasilescu, Ionescu, Ceaușescu, Popescu, Pârvulescu, Cristescu
Spread of surnames
Below we present two lists of the most popular Romanian surnames and Moldovan ones.
Romanian
Moldavian
As can be seen from the list, in Romania most common surnames- Popescu and Popa (in Russian this is approximately like “popovich” and “pop”), and in Moldova - Rusu (apparently a native of Russia). You can also notice that Moldovans often acquired the Russian ending -рь instead of the traditional -ru.
Romanian surnames, male and female, have the property of immutability. Therefore, if you see a man with a feminine name, it is most likely a surname. This can be confusing if you are used to it being placed after your name - Romanians do the opposite. Sometimes initialization can help, because usually initials are put instead of a name.
were strongly influenced by the Russian language and culture, and therefore can be distinguished from Romanian ones, although under the influence of unionism the situation may change.
On the Internet you can find more than forty thousand Romanian surnames, a list in alphabetical order, as well as features of their transliteration from Cyrillic to Latin.
