Summary/Abstract: The term folklore has its etymology in English and was first used on August 22, 1846 by the archaeologist William J. Thoms. ,,Folk” means nation, and ,,lore” means science, the creation of the people or, after the ethnomusicologist Gheorghe Oprea, ,,all artistic creations integrated into popular culture.” Here are subsumed music, literature (prose, the poem), dance and fine arts. Popular spiritual creation in the field of music, of literature and dance constitutes etnophony (gr. Ethnos- nation, people; phoni- voice, sound), and material popular creations in the field of port, of stitches and sculpture, constitutes ethnography (gr. Ethnos- nation, people; graphi- writing, graphics).
