Surname
In many societies, a surname, family name, or last name is the mostly hereditary portion of one's personal name that indicates one's family. It is typically combined with a given name to form the full name of a person, although several given names and surnames are possible in the full name. In modern times most surnames are hereditary, although in most countries a person has a right to name change, change their name. Depending on culture, the surname may be placed either at the start of a person's name, or at the end. The number of surnames given to an individual also varies: in most cases it is just one, but in Portuguese-speaking countries and many Spanish-speaking countries, two surnames (one inherited from the mother and another from the father) are used for legal purposes. Depending on culture, not all members of a family unit are required to have identical surnames. In some countries, surnames are modified depending on gender and family membership status of a person.

Hatvan
Hatvan ( German: ''Hottwan)'' is a town in Heves County, Hungary. Hatvan is the Hungarian word for "sixty". It is the county's third most populous town following Eger and Gyöngyös. Etymology Hatvan is the Hungarian word for "sixty". It is a common urban legend that the town got this name because it is 60 km from Budapest, but in fact the name is already mentioned in medieval sources, many years before the kilometre existed; also, the actual distance between the capital and the town is closer to 50 km. Rather, the town's name likely derives from the Pecheneg root word "''chatwan''" or "''chatman''", meaning "small-tribe" or "splinter-group". This is because the Turkic Pechenegs were divided into small groups when they were settled into the early Kingdom of Hungary. History The area around Hatvan has been inhabited since the Neolithic. Archeological evidence suggests that both sides of the Zagyva river were inhabited at this point. A significant settlement took shape in the ...

István Hatvani
István Hatvani (21 November 1718 – 1786) was a Hungarian polyhistor, mathematician, natural philosopher and theologian. Born in Rimavská Sobota (then Rimaszombat), he studied at the Debrecen Reformed Theological University before setting off on his scholarly travels to Basel, Utrecht and Leiden, where he acquired doctorates in theology and medicine and studied under luminaries such as Johann Bernoulli and Daniel Bernoulli. Returning to Debrecen in 1749, he was appointed professor of mathematics, philosophy and experimental physics, introducing a rigorous Newtonian, experiment-based approach in place of the predominant Wolffian logic‑deductive method. His expansive teaching repertoire ranged from theology and ontology to mechanics, astronomy and early probability theory, making him the first Hungarian to apply the law of large numbers in mortality statistics and laying foundations for political arithmetic and proto‑economics in Hungary.

Penname
A pen name or nom-de-plume is a pseudonym (or, in some cases, a variant form of a real name) adopted by an author and printed on the title page or by-line of their works in place of their real name. A pen name may be used to make the author's name more distinctive, to disguise the author's gender, to distance the author from their other works, to protect the author from retribution for their writings, to merge multiple persons into a single identifiable author, or for any of several reasons related to the marketing or aesthetic presentation of the work. The author's real identity may be known only to the publisher or may become common knowledge. In some cases, such as those of Elena Ferrante and Torsten Krol, a pen name may preserve an author's long-term anonymity. Etymology ''Pen name'' is formed by joining pen with name. Its earliest use in English is in the 1860s, in the writings of Bayard Taylor. The French-language phrase is used as a synonym for "pen name" ( means 'pen' ...
