<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Debora, post: 2748587, member: 1476&quot;]I think I see the surname ends with the suffix &quot;anu&quot; which, according to wikipedia.org, in Romania means:&nbsp; </p><p><br /></p><p><i><font size="3">&quot;Another common derivation was to append the suffix -eanu or the simpler forms -anu and -an to the name of a place, river, village, or region, e.g. Ardeleanu (from <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Transylvania" target="_blank" class="externalLink ProxyLink" data-proxy-href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Transylvania" rel="nofollow">Ardeal</a>), Moldoveanu (from <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Moldavia" target="_blank" class="externalLink ProxyLink" data-proxy-href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Moldavia" rel="nofollow">Moldova</a>), Mureșanu (from <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mure%C8%99_River" target="_blank" class="externalLink ProxyLink" data-proxy-href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mure%C8%99_River" rel="nofollow">Mureș</a>), Sadoveanu etc. (cognate to Italian -(i)ano). They may indicate a country or ethnic origin (e.g. Grecu - from Greece, Ungureanu - from Hungary, Rusu - from Russia).&quot;</font></i></p><p><i><font size="3"><br /></font></i></p><p><font size="4">Debora</font> [/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
