Where the name comes from
A place or district
The Grozăvești district, once a village first recorded on 9 October 1492.
The linguist Adrian Rezeanu reconstructs the name's path from a man called Grozavu, to the grozăvești, his people, then to the village of Grozăvești, recorded in 1492, to the Grozăvești suburb, the street and, today, the district. Excavations on the Politehnica hill found the village site and show it is a century older than the first document.
