Șchei
Șchei was an old Romanian exonym referring to the Bulgarians, especially in Transylvania and northern Wallachia. As a name, it has been preserved in the names of towns colonized in the 14th century by Bulgarians, in toponyms, hydronyms, surnames. The word is thought to derive from Latin sclavis, a popular designation for the South Slavs that was also used in Albanian until the 20th century.Șchei villages in Transylvania
