Adăniloaei
Definition
A Romanian surname of a matronymic type, particularly specific to the historical region of Moldavia (and Bukovina), formed from the masculine given name Dan (or Danilo) via the name of the wife or mother (Dăniloaia). This name reflects an old linguistic and social custom where children received the feminine derivative of the father's given name as a surname if the mother became a widow or the head of the household.
