Agadici

Agadici

Agadici (Hungarian: "Agadics", German: "Agaditsch") is a small village near Oraviţa in the Caraş-Severin County, western Romania.

The history of Agadici can be traced back to at least the 1600s, when records note a population of "800 souls". Today, there are fewer than 200 people living in Agadici.

Agadici is a word derived from the Turkish language; "Aga" meaning 'colonel' and "dici" meaning 'daughter of'. Therefore, Agadici means, "daughter of the colonel". The town was supposedly named after a colonel's daughter when the Ottoman Empire was in occupation of the land that is now the Banat.
