Moldovo (vocative)

Of unclear origin. The suffix -ova is probably of Slavic origin. Theories about the first element:
* It is possibly ultimately from Gothic 𐌼𐌿𐌻𐌳𐌰 (mulda, “dust, mud”) (possibly Moldavia); compare the river Mulde in Germany and Moldau, the German name of the river Vltava, which may be of related origin.
* Alternatively, it may be related to Romanian molid (“spruce”), though the loss of the i in this word is difficult to explain.
* A folk etymology, according to Dimitrie Cantemir, says the name of the Moldova River comes from Prince Dragoș, after his hound Molda, who drowned in it while attempting to hunt an aurochs.
* The Romanian people may have called themselves "Moldoveni" or "Munteni" (literally "of the mountains") so Moldova may alternatively derive from a Thracian-Illyrian language, from *mol (“mountain”) + *dava (“town”).

Dunărea (accusative definite nominative)
Dunări (indefinite)

Dunăre (vocative)

Probably ultimately from Latin Danuvius/Danubius, though through an uncertain intermediate form. A form *Donaris has been proposed to be the one that preceded the Romanian word, possibly showing influence from an older paleo-Balkan or Thracian name for the river, as the -aris suffix can be found in another river, Naparis. The Latin term is likely derived from a Proto-Celtic *Dānowyos, from *Dānu, of Indo-European origin. Doublet of Danubiu.
Alternately, it may have been borrowed from Old Church Slavonic Дꙋнавъ (Dunavŭ), Доунавъ (Dunavŭ), from Proto-Slavic *Dunavь, from Gothic *𐌳𐍉𐌽𐌰𐍅𐌹 (*dōnawi), with a singular form recreated from earlier plural form Dunări, from *Duna, akin to Aromanian Duna.
Ultimately from Proto-Indo-European *déh₂nu (“river goddess”), akin to *dʰenh₂- (“to set in motion; to flow”). Likely found in many other river names such as Doncaster, Don, Donets and Dniester, perhaps by way of Scythian (compare Ossetian дон (don, “river”)) or Celtic.

Drobeta-Turnu Severin

Previously known as Turnu Severin, from turn (“tower”) + Severin, possibly from Old Church Slavonic сѣверьнъ (sěverĭnŭ, “northern”), from сѣверъ (sěverŭ, “north”), referring to its geographical position within the Second Bulgarian Empire.
The city's name was originally linked by historians with the Roman Emperor Septimius Severus, during whose reign the name of the city was Drobeta Septimia Severiana. Another possible theory, is that Severin's name was taken in memory of Severinus of Noricum, who was the patron saint of the medieval colony Turnu, initially a suffragane of the Diocese of Kalocsa.
Drobeta, which was the ancient Roman name for the city, was added back to the city's name in 1972.
 According to Hamp and Hyllested, Drobeta reflects a Roman misinterpretation of *Druwā-tā (the wooden place) with a postposed article, reflecting an old Albanian syntag for wood dru from Proto-Albanian *druwa-tai

strungilor (vocative)

Possibly a substrate word from a Paleo-Balkan language within the linguistic area of Proto-Romanian and solely identifiable as Thraco-Dacian *στροῦνγα (*stroûnga, “tightened, narrowed, strung”) due to comprising all Thracian, Dacian, Moesian and Getean and thus imaginable language territories in its phylum position but, regarding any meaning, the root has also been phonetically improbably related to Thracian *στρουμάν (*stroumán, “stream”). The latter can be deduced from the Ancient Greek river name Στρυμών (Strumṓn, “Strymon”). Perhaps cognate to Latvian strùoga (“alleyway, forest path”), which points at a Thraco-Dacian origin on grounds of sound changes common with general Baltic and lexicosimilarities established. Alternatively, borrowed from Albanian shtrungë (an early form of it before postalveolarization). Maybe related to or derived from strung (“lathe”) with great semantic difficulties that may not be overcome. Compare Aromanian strungã.
