Common names - professional or vocational names - derived with the latin suffix -arius (for example, molarius "morar", miller) make the object of an evolutionary investigation over the centuries, based on linguistic maps, with surnames coming from common names/appelatives. In the Daco-Romanian linguistic space, in different areas of Moldova and Muntenia, several types of dialectal common names can be found, such as (un) padurariu , (un) padurari, (un) paduraru, (un) padurar (a forester), which require a compulsory unification according to the ortographical rules that apply. Surnames (family names) like Padurariu, Padurari, Paduraru, and Padurar, do not accept a correction, considering that the dialectal diversity and the provincial flavour improve the capacity of a person's identification where one or more identical surnames exist. (Ion Padurari, Ion Paduraru).
