Abstract:
In this article the author examines the origin of the Arumanian word“band”, basing his theory on the foreign linguistic influences on the Arumanianlanguage. He concludes that the word might have its roots in the ancientGreek word “Βάνα” (= woman) and because a woman gives life by givingbirth it might signify “life” in the Arumanian language.
