Etymology

The Daco-Roman mixing theory, as an origin for the Romanian people, was formulated by the earliest Romanian scholars, beginning with Dosoftei from Moldavia, in the 17^th century,^[1] followed in the early 1700s in Transylvania, through the Romanian Uniate clergy^[2] and in Wallachia, by the historian Constantin Cantacuzino in his Istoria Țării Rumânești dintru început ("History of Wallachia from the beginning"), and continued to amplify during the 19^th and 20^th centuries.^[3]
