#old first names

• Avrintie — A regional or archaic phonetic variant of the proper masculine name Avrentie (originating from the Greek Abrentios / Laurentios). This onomastic derivative was preserved mainly in rural dialects within certain areas of Romania, representing a popular adaptation through the subtle modification of internal vowels under the influence of local accent and specific oral tradition.
• Avxinie — A popularly deformed, archaic form or dialectal variant of the proper masculine name Avxentie (Auxențiu) or, in some cases, of the name Euxiniu / Axinte. This anthroponymic derivative was sporadically preserved in rural dialects due to the exclusively oral assimilation of educated calendar names, undergoing an internal vowel closing (e > i) characteristic of certain northeastern dialects.
• Axanti — An archaic onomastic variant, hypocoristic form, or regional derivative from the proper name Axinte (originating from the Greek Auxentios, meaning 'he who increases' or 'the growing one'). This rare anthroponym was sporadically preserved in rural dialects and old parish registers, representing a popular phonetic adaptation or a pet name used in traditional communities.
