Summary/Abstract: Our paper is a study of Romanian legal terminology, in particular with respect to inheritance law, before the Civil Code was adopted, in 1869. Through an analysis of documents and legal texts dealing with inheritance issues, dating back to before the 18th century, it has been possible to observe that religious and popular terminology was used to designate legal concepts. Some of the terms were local, thers were borrowed from Slavic languages. It was only in the 18th century that proper legal terminology was introduced in Romanian, mostly of Byzantine-Greek origin; this can be explained by the socio-historical context of the time.
