Молдова ( Moldova ) — post-1930s Cyrillic form
Etymology
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 ” ) .[ 1]
