Romanian Surname
A name in Romanian tradition consists of a given name (''prenume'') and a family name (surname) (''nume'' or ''nume de familie''). In official documents, surnames usually appear before given names. Given names Romanians have one, two or more given names, e.g. Ana Cristina Maria (three given names), all being chosen by the child's parents. One of them, usually the first, is used in daily life while the others are solely for official documents, such as birth, marriage, or death certificates. Traditionally, most people were given names from the Romanian Orthodox calendar of saints. Common names of this type are ''Ion'' or ''Andrei'' for males and ''Maria'' or ''Elena'' for females. Given names with a Christian lineage have an identifiable English equivalent: ''Andrei'' (''Andrew)'', ''Constantin'' (''Constantine)'', ''Cristian'' ('' Christian''), ''Daniel''/''Dan'' ('' Daniel''/''Dan''), ''Gheorghe''/''George'' (''George''), ''Grigore'' ('' Gregory''), ''Ilie'' (''Elijah''), ''Ion ...
