Etymology
Probably a later learned borrowing from (around the 17th century), itself from. If inherited from the nominative form, the expected result in Romanian would have been (as  from ); furthermore, all the other Romance cognates were derived from the accusative form  or genitive  (and some were borrowings themselves). Cf. also and, as well as.

For the name of the currency, it was probably based on the Dutch, which depicted a lion; cf. , also German. This traces back to the 17th century, when the Dutch currency was used in the Romanian principalities. Another explanation gives the origin of this sense as a calque of Turkish, which was also used to refer to a type of currency with a lion on it; see also (English ). Compare also the sense of currency with Bulgarian.
