Etymology
The word 'bani' comes from the Romanian language and is derived from the Latin word 'bฤna', which refers to a monetary unit. The term has evolved in the context of Romania's economic history, especially after the establishment of modern currency systems following the unification of the principalities in the 19th century. The leu, as the main currency of Romania, was subdivided into bani as a smaller unit, reflecting international practices of currency denominations. Historically, bans were also used in other parts of Europe, including in the Ottoman Empire, where they were associated with money and trade activities. This indicates that the concept of 'bani' has not only navigated local Romanian history but has also intertwined with global financial practices.
