Variaș
Variaș ( hu, Varjas; german: Warjasch; sr, Варјаш, Varjaš) is a commune in Timiș County, Romania. It is composed of three villages: Gelu, Sânpetru Mic and Variaș (commune seat). Etymology The name of the locality comes from ''varjú'', which in Hungarian means "crow". The name ''Varjas'' is probably related to the heraldic element of a departed noble family. After the repopulation of Variaș with German settlers, the Germanization of the name in ''Krähendorf'' was unsuccessfully attempted. The name ''Varias'' appears on Count Mercy's map of 1723 and is repeated on the maps of 1753, 1777 and 1783, respectively (in the form of ''Wariosch''). Immediately after the union of Banat with Romania in 1918, the commune bore the official name ''Dănciulești'', a name that was given up on the occasion of the administrative-territorial reform of 1925. Geography Variaș is located in the northwest of Timiș County, on the border with Arad County, about 41 km northwes ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
