Tristan Tzara was a Romanian poet and essayist. He was one of the founders of the Dada movement, known best for his manifestos. He was a collaborator with Marcel Janco. It is speculated that the word "Dada" comes from the Romanian "Yes, yes" and is thus originated from Tzara and Janco's contributions. It is more commonly believed Tzara picked a random word out of a French dictionary and got "Dada", a child's word for a hobby horse
