HelpRe: Some Romanian names :) Please comment :)
in reply to a message by irene
Thanks :) Sad that your aunt had to change her name. I didn't know that he did stuff like that as well. He kind of ruined the name Nicolae for me even though it's still common in Romania and I know several other ones. I love Ruxandra and Luminita.
Do you know where Ilinca comes from? On this site it says Elena but on many Romanian sites it say Ilie.

she luckily didn't have to fully change it- i believe she just applied to/went through college with that name, to get around the background check. background checks and legal documentation was not so thorough back then. still awful that she had to at all, of course.
also this site seems to be the most well researched of all name sites. so i'd bet that Ilinca comes from Elena, especially since Ilonka is from Ilona (which is generally accepted to be a form of Helena, and so connected to Elena).
