Romanian and Moldovan female names

Origin Moldovan surnames.

History of Moldovan surnames at first glance it is quite simple and unpretentious. However, Moldovan surnames are distinguished by some features that set them apart from their closest “relatives” – Romanian surnames. Historically, Moldova has had close relations with many peoples and cultures. This could not but affect the formation of family names, which first appeared among the Moldavian princes in the 13th-14th centuries. They were more like nicknames or middle names and often recalled the close connection with the Ukrainian and Russian languages ​​- Andreiko, Ivanok, Fedko. There were very few such family names; the bulk of Moldovans received surnames only in late XVIII – early XIX century. This was mainly due to military service, and Moldovans served in both the Austrian and Russian troops.

Methods of forming Moldovan surnames.

If you look list of Moldovan surnames in alphabetical order, then many of them end in -yak, -ak, -yuk, -uk, -ey. Basically, they arose on the basis of Russian and Little Russian names and nicknames. Some of these surnames do not have an ending or end in -y - Zaporozhan, Russu, Rusnak, Podolyan, Buts.

Some experts believe that meaning Moldovan surnames with the parts “buts” and “guts” its roots go back to the name of the Hutsuls, and the so-called “rayki” served for the names of the Russians - Railyan, Raiko, Rusnak.

Like other peoples, Moldovans' surnames were formed from the father's personal name, nickname or profession of the first bearer of the surname. For example, Makovey Unguryan (Makovey, come out of Hungary), Ionitse Muntean (Ionitse the highlander, a native of Muntenia). Often interpretation of Moldovan surnames can be difficult, and their belonging to the Moldovan people is not always traceable. This is due to the fact that representatives different nations, which, naturally, left their mark on the formation of surnames. Dictionary of Moldovan surnames includes surnames associated with Russian (Rusnachuk, Railyan, Etsko), Ukrainian (Khokhlov, Kazaku), Bulgarian and Gagauz (Bulgaru, Syrbu) peoples. There are surnames with a clear trace of Polish and Turkish influence - Lyahu, Mazur, Turkulets, Tataru.

Declension everyone Moldovan surnames in the Russian language is subject to the laws of Russian grammar - surnames ending in a consonant change by case only in masculine, and surnames ending in a vowel are neither masculine nor feminine.

Top Moldovan surnames shows which of them are popular and widespread among the largest number of the Moldovan population.

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.
