Sâniob

Sâniob (Hungarian: Szentjobb) is a commune in Bihor County, Crișana, Romania.

In 2012, the commune's previous name was revived and the seat moved back to Sâniob village.

The village was named after Stephen I of Hungary's Holy Dexter, whose preserved right hand was kept in an abbey here.

The locality was conquered by the Ottomans in 1661, becoming the seat of a sanjak in Varat Eyalet.

In terms of religious affiliation, 46.1% were Roman Catholic, 29% Romanian Orthodox, 16.4% Reformed, 5.9% Pentecostal, and 0.9% Greek-Catholic.
