In Hungary '''women keep their birth name throughout their life, married or not'''. There is no married name and maiden name in the sense familiar to Americans. | In Hungary '''women keep their birth name throughout their life, married or not'''. There is no married name and maiden name in the sense familiar to Americans. | ||
In comparison to an English example, if John White married Elizabeth Black, Elizabeth may be referred to as Mrs. John White. | |||
In Hungarian, the positions of the names are inverted, Last name first, and given name second. So if we have Feher János and Fekete Erzsébet, Erzsébet may be referred to as Feher Jánosne. (Broken down in English, this would be: White John Mrs.) | |||
==Given Names== | ==Given Names== | ||
Language changed over time in church-based record keeping between Hungarian ("old Hungarian") and Latin. There can be different variations or versions of a given name that may be used for every record for an individual, including abbreviations by only writing the first few letters of the name.<br> | |||
'''Examples:''' <br> | |||
''John:'' Johan, Johannes, Janos, Jan<br> | |||
''Elizabeth:'' Elisabetha, Elizabetha, Erszébet, Örszebet, Ersze, Örzse <br> | |||
''Steven:'' Stephanus, István, Steph<br> | |||
''George:'' Gyorgy, Gergly, Georgius<br> | |||
''Rose:'' Roza, Rosa, Rozalia, Rosalia<br> | |||
===Nicknames=== | |||
In English, the name John can turn into "Johnny". In Hungarian, it would turn Janos into Janoska, adding a suffix. Anna could be turned into Annuska. These are names used more in private or in interpersonal relationships, and are ''not'' considered their formal or legal names. | |||
=== Słownik imion (Dictionary of names) === | |||
In many Hungarian records, given names are translated into Latin or German. One of the best resources to identify the Hungarian (or other language) version of a Latin name is the [https://www.familysearch.org/ark:/61903/3:1:3Q9M-CS8L-TQ27-6 '''Słownik imion'''], or dictionary of names. This information has been indexed into a searchable [[Given Name Equivalents in the Austro-Hungarian Empire|'''online table''']]. A digital copy of the book is available [https://www.familysearch.org/ark:/61903/3:1:3Q9M-CS8L-TQ27-6 online]. An [https://www.familysearch.org/ark:/61903/3:1:3Q9M-CS8L-TQKT-S index] to all variant names is located at the [https://www.familysearch.org/ark:/61903/3:1:3Q9M-CS8L-TQKT-S back of the book]. | |||
