Rodna (formerly Rodna Veche; Hungarian: Óradna, Radna; German: Altrodenau) is a commune in Bistriţa-Năsăud County, Transylvania, Romania. It is composed of two villages, Rodna and Valea Vinului (Radnaborberek).
Its name is derived from a Slavic word, ruda, meaning "iron ore", originally being known as Rudna in 14th century documents.[2]
