Etymology
Faimos entered Romanian from French fameux, itself from Latin famosus, built on fama, meaning report or reputation. Fama traces back to a Proto-Indo-European root for speaking, since fame begins as what people say about someone. The Romanian word kept the French route rather than developing directly from Latin through Romanian's usual sound changes.
