Summary/Abstract: The research object of the present article deals with the Moldavian and Romanian feminine proper names of Latin origin, which were canonized by the Catholic Church. The observation is carried out on the corpus of fifty-three feminine anthroponyms. Every one of those fifty-three Moldavian and Romanian feminine names is derived from another proper name and that is why they are classified according to the main characteristics of the anthroponym used as a basis during the process of derivation, i. e. if it is masculine or feminine by gender, if it is Latin or Moldavian/Romanian by origin.
