Many Romanian surnames are derivatives from the first names (Iliescu, Alexandrescu). Some others are derived from regular nouns and adjectives (Albu from "alb" - white), professions (Finar - rope maker) or geographical locations (Ardelean from the Ardel region).

Yeah i am curious of different surnames. But the fact is i like to know from which place they are from and like to talk to them more often. But the problem is i always go wrong in guessing the person's place and with wrong language i start talking to that person.
