[Facts] Anutza
Saw a baby girl name Anutza. Her parents are Romanian. Could it be a nickname for something?We're all in the gutter, but some of us look at the stars.

Maybe it's a nickname for Annunziata. That's all I can think of. It's not Romanian as far as I know.

Yes, it's a nickname for Ana in Romanian. It's a bit dated so I'm surprised to see it. It was my grandmother's nickname and I haven't really seen it on younger people.The tz spelling is unusual too. Romanian has a special letter for that group and the tz spelling would be considered netspeak. However, if they don't live in Romania, it may be an attempt to replace the special letter with something that would make more sense in that country. Hope this helps.

What is the special letter for "tz" in Romanian. Is it like T comma? Just interested.

Yes, it's a T with a comma underneath. Ţ is the equivalent of the "tz" sound and Ş is the equivalent of the "sh" sound. In Romania the girl's name would be spelled Anuţa.
