if you check, Transylvania means "behind the woods", or "other side of the woods". In Latin.

This is in northwest Romania these days. In the days of the Austro-Hungarian empire, it was just beyond their reach of control. the border region called "Siebenbuergen".

It was for a long time the border between European influence, and Ottoman Turk influence.
