Summary/Abstract: The present paper carries out a survey of the main names of trees in Romanian, attempting to correlate their spatio-geographic tiering with an etymological “tiering”. It also points out the exceptional role played by the forest throughout the history of the Romanians. Equally important is the discussion about a few famous toponyms related both to the forest and to the history of the Romanians (Transylvania).
