Bădescu

Bădescu is a Romanian surname. It is a relatively common surname in Romania, primarily found in the southern and eastern regions. The name likely derives from a diminutive or pet form of the given name "Bade," a common nickname for older men or respected figures in Romanian villages. "Bade" itself could be related to "bătrân," meaning "old" or "elderly" in Romanian. Therefore, Bădescu can be interpreted as "son of Bade" or "descendant of Bade." The suffix "-escu" is a common Romanian patronymic suffix, indicating descent.
