-eşti

-eşti

"-eşti" (pronounced|/eʃtʲ/) is a widespread Romanian suffix used indicating a placename, being in fact a plural of the possessive suffix "-escu", formerly used for patronyms and currently widespread for family names. An obsolete form is "-esci" or "-eşci", being sometimes used before the beginning of the 20th century. Another form sometimes found is "-ăşti". In some areas in Romania, more than half of the placenames have this suffix.

Overall, this ending is part of the names of 14.8% of the Romanian towns and villages (2,038 out of 13,724) and 11.4% of the Moldovan towns and villages (144 out of 1,254).Fact|date=April 2008__NOTOC__
