Dornești (German: Kriegsdorf, Hungarian: Hadikfalva, popularly also known in Romanian as Hadic, a shortened form of its Hungarian name) is a commune located in Suceava County, in the historical region of Bukovina, northeastern Romania. It is composed of two villages, Dornești and Iaz. From 1786 to 1941, the village of Dornești was inhabited by the Székelys of Bukovina. In the past, the commune was also inhabited by a German minority, more specifically Bukovina Germans (German: Bukowinadeutsche or Buchenlanddeutsche). Nowadays, the vast majority of the population are ethnic Romanians (approximately 90% of the commune's population according to the 2011 Romanian census).
