Romanian[edit]
Etymology[edit]
From Proto-Slavic *Kolęta (personal name) + *-ina (denominative suffix).
Folk etymology ascribes it as being derived from "colea-n-tină" ("there, in the mud"), as this was allegedly the answer of a spătar to Matei Basarab, who asked the former where he had defeated the Ottoman army.
Proper noun[edit]
