Guide to Hungarian Names
So I’m getting a little fed up with the fact that whenever there is a Hungarian character in English speaking media, their surname is Kovács, and if it’s a male character, the given name is László (maybe spelled Lazlo). So here’s a quick guide/sampler of Hungarian names
Ground rules:
In contrast to much of the world, in the case of Hungarian names, surnames come first, then given names. But when talking in English, we’ll most likely just automatically flip them
Surnames sometimes might have a spelling that goes against regular spelling rules (e.g. “német,” which is the Hungarian word for German, might be spelled as Németh as a surname)
Some surnames might exist in two versions, one ending in -i, the other in -y. In this case, the latter means that the person is from a (once) aristocratic family
Up until like the late 1980’s, women, when marrying, legally had to take on their husband’s name with the suffix -né (“wife of”). So, for example, a woman marrying a guy named Kovács János would be legally called Kovács Jánosné after marriage (given name practically erased). Now there are several options. Let’s say our hypothetical woman marrying Kovács János is called Nagy Ilona. After marriage, she might 1, keep her maiden name 2, called Kovács Ilona (take on the husband’s surname) 3, Kovács-Nagy Ilona (hyphenate) 4, Kovácsné Nagy Ilona (husband’s surname with -né suffix, maiden name), Kovács Jánosné (husband’s name with -né suffix)
Nickname forms are… varied, but generally: fist syllable (if vowel is long, it’s shortened) + consonant of the second syllable + i. So like: János –> Jani, Katalin –> Kati, István –> Isti
Male names:
András (Andrew)
Máté (Matthew)
Álmos (“one with a dream”, name from a myth)
Keve (old Hungarian)
János (John)
István (Stephen)
Mátyás (Matthew)
Bálint (comes from Valentin)
Balázs (from the Latin surname Blasio)
Levente (old Hungarian)
Zalán (old Hungarian)
Botond (old Hungarian)
Tamás (Thomas)
Benedek (Benedict)
Hunor (old Hungarian)
Gergő/Gergely (Gregory)
Zoltán (old Hungarian)
Attila (old Hungarian)
Ákos (old Hungarian)
Gábor (Gabriel)
Sándor (Alexander)
Zsolt (old Hungarian)
Csongor (old Hungarian)
Ferenc (Francis)
Csaba (old Hungarian)
Mihály (Michael)
Boldizsár (old Hungarian)
Szabolcs (old Hungarian)
Tibor (Hungarian, origin is a bit ???)
Miklós (Nicholas)
Imre (old Hungarian)
Girls’ names are more likely to sound familiar to the Anglo-Saxon ear, but still, here are some examples:
Zsófia (Sophia)
Erzsébet (Elizabeth)
Boglárka (Hungarian, literally “buttercup”)
Ildikó (Hungarian)
Ilona (Helena)
Emese (old Hungarian, from a myth)
Gréta (derived from Margaret)
Fruzsina (from Greek Euphrosyne)
Csenge (old Hungarian)
Borbála (derived from Barbara)
Hanga (Heather)
Hajnalka (little dawn)
Gyöngyi (pearl-like)
Orsolya (Ursula)
Dorka (derived from Dora)
Noémi (Naomi)
Panna (derived from Anna)
Kinga (derived from German Kunigunda)
Zita (old Hungarian)
Hedvig
Dorottya (derived from Dora)
Dalma (Hungarian, coined in the 19th century)
Tímea (Hungarian, coined in the 19th century)
Some common surnames:
Kovács (Smith)
Nagy (“Big”)
Kiss (“Little”)
Szűcs (Skinner)
Takács, might also be spelled Takáts (Weaver)
Szabó (Tailor)
Tóth (Slovak)
Horváth/Horvát (Croatian)
Németh/Német (German)
Varga (Cobbler)
Molnár (Miller)
Farkas (Wolf)
Lakatos (Lockmaker)
Juhász (Shepherd)
Pap/Papp (Priest)
Fekete (Black)
Fazekas (Potter)
Király (King)
Katona (Soldier)
Magyar (Hungarian)

"How the hell did Monsignor Pruitt get the 'angel' to dress for mass?" is the new "How the hell did people convince Davy Jones to stand in a bucket of water with a little trail of buckets of water behind him during the parlay?" and I'm here for it.

Lookie-loo, Lone Ranger (2013)!AU for PotC~
In this AU, Jack is half Native. Teague (who I didn't draw out of laziness) is an ex-fur trader who fell for and married a Native woman and who lives with the tribe. He's mostly known as Sparrow.
Tia Dalma takes Red Harrington's place, but instead of getting her leg eaten, she just has a severely broken heart thanks to Jones. She's also Mary and Tafari's aunt in this AU, owns a brothel and a saloon, and is a mistress of the occult. The brothel name, 'Faithful Bride' is stolen from the tavern Arabella Smith's dad owns in the young Jack Sparrow book series.
Mary and Tafari work in their aunt's saloon (currently unnamed).
Cutler Beckett is a railroad tycoon and wants to purchase all the big, money-making establishments in the city to make more $$$, which is why he ends up kidnapping Mary and Tafari. With Jones' help, he plans on putting a ransom on their heads that'll force Tia Dalma's hand.
Jones runs the Flying Dutchmen gang of bandits.
Emil is the niece of the lead ranger, Drystan Crunn, who was sent to live with her uncle when her stepfather got sick of her attitude. A good portion of the town knows that she's his niece, but don't really care when he brings her up as a nephew. She's more competent that John Reid and isn't afraid to use a gun--but like the original Lone Ranger, she prefers to shoot to disarm/disable rather than shoot to kill.
Emil and Jack meet on the train, in a similar fashion that Tonto and John meet in the movie. Jack also doesn't find out she's a woman until around the point in the movie where John and Tonto managed to ambush Cavendish at the silver mine.
Jones and Beckett don't get killed; instead, Jones manages to escape and Beckett continues to secretly fund Jones' shenanigans in various attempts to get more control over the town/territory.
....I sure did write a lot of lore down despite knowing only 3 or 4 people are going to bother reading through it all 😆
