Dionisie Fotino (Greek: Dionysios Foteinos,[1] 1769–1821)[2] was a Wallachian historian and high ranking civil servant of Greek origin.[3]
Born in Patras, Fotinos (Photeinos, Gr. Φωτεινός ) hailed from the so-called Phanariote families within the Ottoman Empire. He moved to Wallachia in 1804.[2]
Fotino was one of the first scholars to propose a Daco-Roman ancestry for the Romanians by stating, in his History of Old Dacia of 1818, that "the Romans and Dacians, crossbreeding, created a distinct, mixed people" in Dacia Traiana province.[4]
