Etymology
The word Bucharest comes from the Romanian București, likely from the name Bucur and the ending -ești, where Bucur means 'joy' or was a person's name and -ești means 'place of the people'. One popular story says a shepherd named Bucur started the settlement, so București meant 'Bucur's place' or 'place of joy', which is why the capital city is now called Bucharest.
