| 释义 |
The names of Moldavia and Moldova originate from the historical state of Moldavia, which at its greatest extent included eastern Romania (Western Moldavia), Moldova, and parts of south-western Ukraine. EtymologyMoldavia/Moldova was named after the Moldova River, which is a Slavic name,[1] derived from Slavic mold-, "spruce, fir".[2][3] A. I. Sobolevskij derived it from *moldu, "tender, soft, young".[4] The ending -ov(a)/-av(a) is a common Slavic suffix used in appelatives and proper names.[5] -ova denotes ownership, chiefly of feminine nouns. There is significant Slavic influence on Romanian. The myth, included in works of Grigore Ureche (1590–1647), Miron Costin (1633–1691) and Dimitrie Cantemir (1673–1723), but given varying levels of credibility by these, was that the hunter Dragoș from Maramureș (the founder of Moldavia) in 1359 hunted for wild oxes, accompanied by female dog Molda who chased an ox into the river where the animal was killed and the dog itself drowned in the water; the river and region was named after the dog.[6] Other theories is that it is derived from old German Molde, meaning "open-pit mine",{{cn|date=April 2018}} or the Gothic Mulda meaning "dust", "dirt" (cognate with the English mould), referring to the river.{{cn|date=April 2018}} The short-lived capital of Moldavia, Baia in the Suceava County, was called Stadt Molde in a 1421 German document. BogdaniaThe original and short-lived reference to the region was Bogdania, after Bogdan I, the founding figure of the principality.{{Citation needed|date=June 2010}} WallachiaThe term "Black Wallachia" ({{lang-ro|Valahia Neagră}}), in Turkish Kara-Eflak, was another name found used for Moldova in the Ottoman period.[7] It derived from Bogdan I of Moldavia; in Ottoman Turkish usage his state was known as Kara-Bogdan ({{lang-ro|Cara-bogdan}})[8] and Bogdan-Eflak, "Bogdan's Wallachia".
