Bubuieci (Romanian pronunciation: [buˈbu.jet͡ʃʲ]) is a commune and village in the Chișinău municipality, Moldova, located just south‑east of the capital. The commune is composed of three villages: Bîc, Bubuieci, and Humulești.
The village of Bubuieci marks its foundation date as 22 April 1518, when the ruler of Moldavia, Bogdan III the One-Eyed, granted a deserted area near the Bîc River to Pârcălab (burgrave) Toader Bubuiog. The village’s name is a later adaptation of its founder’s surname.
