Editing Hunedoara (section)

==Etymology==
The name of the town seems inexorably linked to the name of the [[Hunyadi family]] (also known as Corvinus). The most probable explanation for the [[Romanian language|Romanian]] name "Hunedoara" is the transliteration of the Hungarian name "Hunyadvár" meaning "Castle of Hunyad", as many Hungarian towns have this [[suffix]]. Historically, the following names were recorded: ''Hungnod'' (1265), ''Huniad'' (1278), ''Hwnyadwar'' (1409), ''Vayda Hunyadi'' (1575). The latter Hungarian name ''Vajdahunyad'' (voivode Hunyad) is a direct referral to [[John Hunyadi]].

The German name "Eisenmarkt" means "Iron Market", doubtless a reference by [[Transylvanian Saxons|German merchants]] to the city's thriving iron trade from Carpathian mines.{{cn|date=December 2024}}
