Abstract

Family names in village Izsnyéte  

Izsnyéte is a village of Hungarian majority to the south-west of Munkács in district Bereg, Ukraine. In the settlement the author collected 167 family names, which he classified on the basis of the system he presented in the previous issue of our periodical. The majority of the family names turned out to have been given by Hungarians, but there are some names (in order of frequency) of Ruthenian, Ukrainian, Slovakian, German, Rumanian, Turkish and Latin origin. Most of the family names of foreign origin are also borne by people whose mother tongue is Hungarian. The author provides the etymology of the family names as well.
