Re: Ceauşescu and Comăneci 's meaning
in reply to a message by hj
As a romanian guy, I might know what Ceausescu means. It may come from the word "cenușă", meaning "ash".
Comăneci might come from the romanian surname Coman.

Cavuş means 'Sergeant' in Turkish. His name-sake ancestor probably served as a sergeant.
