Re: [Cz-L] The forename 'Muniu' ? and other subjects

Most names ending in " u" come from Rumania.
  The definitive article masculine is - "ul". In old times -u.
  Herscu means " the Hersh", Nelu is " the Nel " .
    Valachy intrusion into our talking,
      Among many, many others . Some origin unclear.
