• Androinic — A Romanian surname or archaic masculine given name (frequently spelled Andronic in its standardized form), structurally derived from the Greek 'Andronikos' (victorious man / conqueror of men). In a historical, cultural, and academic context, this patronymic indicates descent from an ancestor with a prestigious Byzantine name, serving as a stable marker of family identity.
• Arentie — A masculine proper name, a rare Christian given name or Romanian surname of hagiographic origin, derived from the Latin 'Terentius' or borrowed through Slavo-Byzantine channels from the Greek 'Arentios'. In the historical onomastic structure of the Romanian Principalities, the name is recorded in parish registers, court deeds, and ancient estate charters, borne by men from rural communities before the modern simplification of church calendars.
