List of places in Romania whose names were changed
Encyclopedia
During the twentieth century, a number of places in Romania had their names changed for various reasons. For instance, Braşov
was called Oraşul Stalin by the Communist regime
in order to pay homage to the Soviet leader. Some of those names were changed back to the original; Braşov regained its old name as Romania's leadership began to develop policies more independent of the Soviet Union. The reason for many Transylvanian name changes was to give a more "Romanian-sounding" name to certain settlements, since in many case the original Romanian name was too close to the Hungarian or German one, from which it was derived from (usually a simple re-writing of the name according to Romanian phonetics).
This list enumerates the changes made from 1921 onwards.
Not included are the names of localities in the Banat
, in Transylvania
, and in Bukovina
that were changed from Hungarian
and/or German
to Romanian immediately after World War I, the names of localities in Northern Transylvania
that were changed back to Hungarian from 1940 to 1944, and those of localities in Greater Romania
that today no longer form part of Romania, such as Southern Dobrudja and the Bugeac
.
