Hungarian Names
Hungarian names include surnames and given names. Some people have more than one given name, but only one is normally used. In the Hungarian language, whether written or spoken, names are invariably given in the " Eastern name order", or family name followed by given name (in foreign-language texts in languages that use Western name order, names are often given with the family name last). Hungarian is one of the few national languages in Europe to use the Eastern name order, like Chinese, Japanese, Korean, Vietnamese and some Basque nationalists. Orthography Although Hungarian orthography is now simpler than it was in the 18th and the 19th centuries, many Hungarians still use the old spelling for their names. For example, the letter ''c'' is often written as ''cz''. Letters such as ''q'', ''w'', ''x'' and ''y'' are usually seen only in foreign words but may also be seen in older spellings of names, especially in noble family names that originated in the Middle Ages.
