Do Moldovan surnames decline

Unlike those generic names that end in consonants, Moldavian names cannot be declined in different cases. Or rather, it would be wrong to persuade them. If you need to ask a question or tell something about someone, then declination Moldovan surnames will happen like this: “Maria Suruceanu is not there.” It turns out that a female or male name can be declined, but a surname cannot. The same can be seen in the declension of Ukrainian family names, the ending of which also ends with a vowel.

Origin of Moldovan surnames

As in any other language of peoples, the origin of Moldavian surnames dates back to historical events one family or another. If you know the Romanian language well, then each of them in translation will mean one or another craft or profession, position, personal achievements, character traits, various nicknames. For example, we can consider the well-known national surname Boyko, which is often confused with the Ukrainian one: the story tells about a brave, efficient, resourceful person who easily coped with difficulties, which is where the meaning “brisk” comes from.

One of the impressive groups of Moldovan names is Slavic. They appeared in the language even before the founding of a separate state by the Moldovans ( we're talking about on the formation of the Principality of Moldova in 1359). The use of common Slavic roots is typical for these names. For example, Drag, which means “dear” (“analogues” are in Polish, Czech, Bulgarian and Serbian), or Bogdan (“God-given”).

Due to the residence of the nation next to the Vlachs in XIX-XX centuries(the principality of the same name became part of the United Principality of Moldavia and Wallachia in 1859), Romanesque names appeared in the list of Moldavian male names.

The Middle Ages became a time of revival of Roman culture; this fashion affected all European countries without exception. Moreover, the “consequences” can be observed not only in architecture, literature and theater, but also in anthroponymy. A huge number of female and male beautiful Moldovan names have Roman ancestors. Take a look: Adrian (derived from the Roman personal or family nickname Hadrianus, that is, “Adriatic, native of the Adriatic” or “inhabitant of Adria”), Camil (derived from the Roman cognomen Camillus, which translates as “a youth of impeccable birth, admitted to the service of the gods”).

There are also names in Moldavian that come from Romanian lexemes. For example, Viorel (arrangement of the Romanian “viorea”, that is, “violet”).

Another area of ​​borrowing is names noted in the Bible or belonging to canonized saints. There are many of these in the language, they all have Greek, Latin and Hebrew origin. In addition, these names remain the most popular among Moldovan citizens. These are Gheorghe (ancient Greek; translated as “landowner”) and Ion (meaning “Yahweh is merciful”, of Hebrew origin).

A separate group of Moldavian male names are ancient Germanic, for example, Albert - from the name “Adalberht”, i.e. “bright, noble”, Carol – comes from the name Karl (“man, man, husband”). They came into the language in the first centuries AD, when the territory inhabited by the Moldovans was the possession of various tribal unions.
