Alternative forms edit

- ромын (romîn) — post-1930s Cyrillic spelling
Etymology edit
Inherited from Latin rōmānus. The variant rumân also meant peasant, or a serf who worked the land (in feudal medieval Wallachia). In popular speech, it also had the meaning of a husband or man in general, but this is now archaic. Doublet of roman, a later borrowing.
