Podul Calicilor literally means "Bridge of the Greedy", but Podul at that time also meant well-built road (through mud) as well as bridge. Podul Calicilor was the old name of Calea Rahovei, the road from Bucharest to Rahova.

It is true that "calic" means "greedy" today, but the old sense is that of "wretch", "miserable", "dirt-poor".
