From a recent government tourist pamphlet for Radauti and surrounding area:
Radauti, one of the oldest places of Moldavia, is situated at the foot of the Obcinele Bucovinea, at an altitude of 374 m from the sea level, and at a distance of 37 km from Suceava. Radauti was documentary certified in 1392 under the name Radomir's village. There are some opinions which suggest that Radauti derives from Radomir, others sustain that its origins must be sought in ancient times and that its name derives from the Latin word Rottacenum - "rotta" meaning wheel or round, and 'ciner" meaning ashes, therefore a round place for incineration. Situated in a region with unrivaled monuments of feudal art, a region where many great rulers and voivoids were buried, Radauti was visited by many tourists along the time, because whether you want to go to Putna or Sucevita, Margine or Arbore, you have to go through Radauti.
