What a card says
A card gives the name, whether it is a women's or a men's name, and what its dictionary entry adds: 44 cards give the English form, as Ioana is Joan and Nicolae is Nicholas, and 54 the language the name came from. Six are pet forms: Ionuț comes from Ion.
Choose women's or men's names
Pick Women's first names or Men's first names in the menu under the button, and open More filters for a first letter. 17 names carry Romanian marks, and each of those cards adds a plain spelling: Cătălina is also given as Catalina.
Tips
Names that begin with Ș, such as Ștefan, are found under S in the Starts with menu.
The list has no ranks: no official count of first names in Romania was found as open data.
Questions and answers
What are some Romanian names?
Ion, Ioan, Gheorghe, Mihai, Ștefan and Vasile are Romanian men's names on this list, and Maria, Elena, Ioana, Ileana and Luminița women's names. The list gives no ranks, because no official count was found.
What are Romanian last names like?
Many Romanian family names add an ending such as -escu or -eanu to another word, as Marinescu does. This page holds first names only; the page of Romanian last names on this site lists family names with the word each is built on.
Do Romanian names use special letters?
Yes. Romanian writes ă, â, î, ș and ț, and 17 names here carry one, such as Ștefan, Cătălin and Luminița. Each of those cards adds a spelling without the marks.
Are these real Romanian names?
Yes. Each name has a Romanian given-name entry in English Wiktionary and a page in English Wikipedia's lists of Romanian given names, both read on 2 October 2026. Nothing is invented; only the draw is random.

How this list was compiled: A list by a written rule, built on 2 October 2026. A first name is listed when two things hold: it has a Romanian given-name entry in English Wiktionary (https://en.wiktionary.org/wiki/Category:Romanian_given_names, 186 male and 97 female entries that day), and English Wikipedia files a page for it under 'Romanian masculine given names' or 'Romanian feminine given names' (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Category:Romanian_masculine_given_names, 248 pages, and https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Category:Romanian_feminine_given_names, 146 pages, read the same day), which shows the name is in use. 61 women's and 103 men's names pass both. Two men's names that pass, Sorin and Tudor, are left out, because lists of last names on this site hold them and would otherwise pass their limit of 40 shared names in 100; 101 men's names are listed. No official count of first names in Romania was found as open data, so the list is a selection and carries no rank or band. A card prints what the name's dictionary entry gives and nothing more: an English equivalent, where the same dictionary lists that form as an English given name (44 cards), the name it is a pet form of (6), and the language of origin where the entry names one in a word (54). Two origin lines are left off because they read wrong (a place on Iurie, Ancient Greek on David). No meaning is written by us, and no name day is printed, because no calendar was read. The spelling without Romanian marks (ă, â, î, ș, ț) is our own respelling. Family names are on this site's list of Romanian last names; none is listed here. No speaker of Romanian has read the list.
