Olt

Etymology
. The name has been used since the ancient times, but the phonetic change a > o appears to indicate that the word reached Romanian through a intermediary (similar to the change from  to ). Direct inheritance from Latin would have yielded *Arută.

Ancient recorded variants include: 🇨🇬 (Strabo), 🇨🇬 (Ptolemaios), 🇨🇬 (Tabula Peutingeriana).

Proper noun

 * 1)  (the longest flowing exclusively through it)
