Talk:Botoșani

Untitled

Maybe the people link is too weak. You should stick to people recognized. But this is only my opinion. You don't tell anything to anybody this way.

Eminescu and Botosani

As far as I remember from Romanian Literature manual from highschool, Eminescu was born in Botosani and grew up in Ipotesti.

Etymology

Another possible origin of the name is that of a Mongol chief, Batu Khan, grandson of Genghis Khan, who occupied this region in the 13th century.

That's a very unlikely etymology. I am not aware of any other Mongol placenames anywhere in Romania and the Romanian ending -ani makes it even more unlikely. If anyone finds a reliable source mentioning it (see Wikipedia:Attribution), it can be readded. bogdan 15:58, 1 March 2007 (UTC)

I remember reading about the Batu Khan hypothesis in a Romanian history book as a youth, so it does exist, unfortunately I cannot yet remember the name of the author :( Gabrieli (talk) 08:43, 21 August 2008 (UTC)
