Cincar is not Romanian, but Aromanian. It doesn't come from țânțar (mosquito) - that's more of a Romanian tease, stemming from the funny way these people pronounce ce/ci as tze/tzi instead of tche/tchi.

According to Aromanians, Cincar comes the number five, meaning from Legio V Macedonica (people of this Vlach tribe claim ascendance from Roman legionaries stationed in Macedonia). Cincar would be spelled Cincear in Romanian.

We call Aromanians Cincari. Macedonians don't use that term, they call them Vlasi (Vlachs).

It's funny, we call Aromanians, Machedoni, and Macedonians, Macedoneni.

Aromanians don't really like that.

Cincar-Janko according to some Serbian historians was not of Aromanian origin, but he got nick Cincar because of his origin from part of Macedinia where also Aromanians lived https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cincar-Janko
