Naming context

What makes Hungarian names distinctive?

Hungarian uses a distinctive spelling system with digraphs such as sz, zs, cs, gy and ny, plus accented vowels including á, é, í, ó, ö, ő, ú, ü and ű. In traditional domestic name order, the family name comes before the given name.

Many names used in Hungary belong to wider European name families, while others carry especially strong Hungarian historical, linguistic or literary associations. The directory treats usage, origin and popularity as separate facts.
