Botești

Botești is the name of several places in Romania. It primarily refers to villages and communes:

• Botești, Neamț: A commune in Neamț County, Romania. It is composed of three villages: Botești, Barticești, and Găbureni.

• Botești, Bacău: A village in Ungureni Commune, Bacău County, Romania.

Botești is likely derived from a Romanian personal name, possibly related to the verb "a boteza" (to baptize) or a given name such as "Botezatu" (Baptized One). The suffix "-ești" is a common Romanian toponymic suffix indicating a place belonging to or associated with a person or family. Therefore, Botești can be interpreted as "the place of Botezatu" or "the place of the Botești family."
