Etymology
Romanian borrowed "identitate" from French "identité" in the 19th century, during the modernization of the Romanian lexicon. French "identité" in turn descends from Late Latin "identitas, identitatis", an abstract noun built on "idem" (the same). "Idem" itself is a fusion of the Latin pronoun "is" (he, that one) with the emphatic particle "-dem". The underlying pronoun stem traces back to a common Indo-European demonstrative root.
