Viadineți

Viadineți is an old name for the settlement later known as Edineț, in the northern Moldavian lands between the Prut and Dniester. Local histories connect it with a 1431 grant by Alexander the Good to Ivan Cupcici, which included villages and deserted lands. Later documents preserve forms of the name as it changed to Iadineți and Edineț. Its place among the villages of the region reflects the long settlement of this northern Moldavian countryside.
