Etymology

Romanian borrowed "anonim" from French "anonyme" in the nineteenth century, part of a wave of French vocabulary that reshaped modern Romanian. French took the word from Greek "anonymos," built from the negative prefix "an-" and "onyma," a dialectal form of "onoma," meaning name. The sense has stayed constant across languages: something or someone without a stated name.
