Studeresti

Studeresti is a toponym used in Romanian-speaking regions to designate rural settlements. The name is found in several villages in Romania and, in Romanian-speaking areas of Moldova, where the suffix -ești is a common element in place names.\n\nEtymology and form: The toponym Studeresti is built from a root, often a personal name or family name, plus the common Romanian village suffix -ești, which typically denotes a place associated with that family or group. Precise historical derivation for the specific root “Studer-” is not universally documented and may vary by locality.\n\nGeography: Because multiple places bear the name, Studeresti requires disambiguation in sources. Each Studeresti is part of a larger administrative unit, usually a village within a commune and situated within a county. Without identifying the exact county or commune, the specific location cannot be determined.\n\nHistory and characteristics: Villages named Studeresti share common features typical of rural settlements in the region, such as agricultural-influenced economies, a village center with a church or chapel, and tie-ins to local landholder or parish histories. In the 20th century, such villages were affected by broader Romanian rural reforms, collectivization, and, more recently, rural-to-urban migration and depopulation trends.\n\nSee also: Romanian toponyms with the suffix -ești; lists of villages named with -ești in Romania and Moldova.
