Zână

Zână is a word that comes from Romanian folklore. It means a magical fairy or spirit, kind of like Tinkerbell from Peter Pan.

These fairies are often described as being very beautiful, with long hair and wings that sparkle in the sunlight. They live in the forests and have magical powers, like being able to make things grow or to summon animals to do their bidding.

Sometimes zâne are mischievous and like to play pranks on humans. But other times they are helpful and kind, and will grant wishes to those who treat them well.

In Romanian culture, zâne are often depicted in artwork and stories, and are an important part of the country's history and traditions.
