• Amărăști — The name of several localities in Romania, including the Amărăști commune in Vâlcea county and the Amărăștii de Jos / Amărăștii de Sus communes in Dolj county. Etymologically, these rural toponyms derive from an old family name or nickname (Amaru / Amărâtu), reflecting historical developments of independent or tenant peasant settlements in the Oltenia region.
• Andreesti — A Romanian toponym designating several rural localities or small hamlets in Romania (such as Andreești village in Gorj County or Vâlcea County). This structural geographical entity was historically formed based on an estate or settlement founded by the descendants of a local leader named Andrei, preserving its rural character and community traditions within its administrative structure.
• Antonești — The name of several rural localities and geographical settlements within the Romanian area (located in counties from Romania such as Vâlcea or in districts of the Republic of Moldova), a designation historically formed through collective derivation from the name of a founder or estate owner named Anton or Antonescu. In a geographical and administrative sense, it represents a stable territorial unit, historically populated by structurally related families, whose name preserves the traditional Romanian pattern of group toponym formation.
• Armenești — A geographical proper name borne by several settlements and microtoponyms in the Romanian territory, most notably Armenești village in Vâlcea county, as well as streets or historical quarters in major cities (such as the famous Armenian Quarter in Bucharest). These names historically and culturally reflect the early settlement, commercial influence, or presence of old Armenian ethnic communities and places of worship within those respective geographical perimeters.
• Arnota — A historic Romanian Orthodox monastery located in Vâlcea County, founded between 1633 and 1634 by Prince Matei Basarab. Situated at an isolated altitude on the mountain of the same name, it houses the tomb of its founder and highly valuable interior frescoes.
