Uriaș, feminine uriașă, comes from the Uriași, a legendary race of giants in Romanian folklore said to have lived on the land before humans. The exact origin of the word is not settled. Some scholars propose a link to Turkic tribal names passed down through Slavic, but no root is firmly established.
