It could come from Cumans or even older waves of migrations. It would be interesting to see how medieval folk from these lands score.
I used to think that it could come from Tatars, but I manage my family's kits on MyHeritage and a couple others from my connections, and none of them get any kind of Tatar, Central Asian or Turkish matches. So the East Asian/Siberian connection should be really old. Szeklers score the most East Asian/Siberian out of everyone in this region, so maybe it's connected to the source population that mixed with them. But what it proves for certain is that Romanians were pretty much always on these lands and didn't come from Bulgaria or Serbia, as some alternative theories suggest. Otherwise, we wouldn't have this input, just like the people from there.
