Its capital city is Oradea (Nagyvárad). Toponymy The origin of the name Bihor is uncertain, except that it likely takes its name from an ancient fortress in the current commune of Biharia.

Another theory is that Biharea is of Daco-Thracian etymology (''bi'' meaning "two" and ''harati'' "take" or "lead"), possibly meaning two possessions of land in the Duchy of Menumorut (Ménmarót). Another theory is that the name comes from ''bour'', the Romanian term for aurochs (from the Latin word ''bubalus''). The animal once inhabited the lands of northwestern Romania. Under this controversial theory, the name changed from ''buar'' to ''buhar'' and to ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
