Mașloc
Mașloc (; ) is a commune in Timiș County, Romania. It is composed of three villages: Alioș, Mașloc (commune seat) and Remetea Mică. It also included Fibiș until 2004, when it was split off to form a separate commune. Name The German name of the village, ''Blumenthal'', means "village of flowers". The German colony was built in a wildflower meadow, hence the name. This is also illustrated by the old stamp of the village, depicting a valley and a flower vase with a lush bouquet of flowers. The Romanian population had great difficulties pronouncing the German name. Therefore they named the village ''Maslog'', as shown in a map from 1864–1865.

The Hungarian ''lak'' – just like the Romanian ''loc'' – means "place". History Mașloc was first mentioned as ''Machalaka'' in 1326. M ...
