[Facts] Re: Opriș
in reply to a message by Siân
Hi !!!As far as I know Opriș is a surname, as in the case of Florea Opriș.There is also another surname: Oprea. In the past it was a given name that comes from 'opri' meaning "to stop", given to the last-born child.Opriș could have a similar origin.Personal Name Lists https://www.behindthename.com/pnl/125456

I meant to post this on the surname board and I don't know how I made this mistake.
Thank you though. I appreciate the help.

I imagine in that case there would be a few who turned out not to be the last born after all.
