Romanian Baby Names

Romanian, a Romance language, is spoken by about 25 million people mainly in Romania and Moldova and scattered across many other countries and regions such as: Italy, Spain, Ukraine, Bulgaria and the United States. The oldest recorded Romanian text is from a letter written in 1521 AD, and other texts from around 1714 AD make mention that the same language was spoken in Moldavia, Wallachia and Transylvania. Although Romanian is in fact a Romance language and thus related to French, Italian, Portuguese and Spanish as far as a language family, it does retain sounds and syllables that are distinctive to Romania’s geographical area in terms of neighbors such as Croatia and Ukraine.
