This is what we Romanians call “pancakes” (clătite). In the US for example, these are not “pancakes”. What Americans call “pancakes”, we call “clătite americane” (American pancakes) or just “pancakes” (the untranslated English word).
That word goes all the way back to Proto-Indo-European, making it far older than English itself. In fact, it's older than Latin, Greek, and Sanskrit, all of which decended from Proto-Indo-European.
