ignore the double reblog im still tumblr noob but funny you say that because i was coming up with one for him today!

and i agree. although i consider molmol and roro to be brothers, i wanted them to have different surnames. anywho, the one i managed to create for him is mitică bogdănescu. and because im a certified yapper let me explain why :3

firstly, i started gathering ideas by researching the etymology of moldova/moldavia. after much deliberation i settled on the most plausible (to me) theory that moldova's name originated from the old norse word "molde" which means "fertile soil".

some more looking landed me to his given name, mitică, which is a diminutive of dumitru, which has its roots in the name of the greek goddess demeter, who is the goddess of fertility, agriculture, and the earth, and given how well that fits the whole aforementioned moldova etymology thing earlier, i found it was perfect for moldova!

his surname is simpler. bogdănescu simply means "son of bogdan" and it's a direct reference to bogdan the first/bogdan the founder who is the first independent ruler of moldavia.

i really didn't spend thaaat much time on it but this is what i got and of course im not a huge expert historian or anything, this is just the result of me and my silly hyperfixation brain

if you want more surname ideas you could try finding surnames that are derived from the name dragoș (referring to dragoș the founder) who is also a maramureș voivode who's important in moldavia's history in the 1300s. dragoș by itself can be a surname but i think it miiight be more common in an -escu form, maybe dragoescu?

this is super long aaaa im sorry hopefully i helped some!!

Does anyone have human name ideas for Moldova? Especially surnames- I haven't really seen much floating around.
