I have an 1835 census of the town of Zubak Slovkia. It looks like there is a name that is Fa. It is very short.

beco: Fa surname

In the last few days I searched the church records of Pely (Heves County, Hungary). There is a Fa family too in the second half of the 19th century.

fericzobor: Re: fa surname

Dear John,

It is possible that your surname is of Hungarian origin, since in Hungarian “fa” is a noun meaning “tree, wood”. Although in Rumania there is a Hungarian minority consisting of approx. 2 million people (mainly in Transylvania), I didn’t find the “Fa” surname in the Rumanian phone books. Thus it would be more useful, as also other people suggested, to look for this surname in Hungary.
Of course, being a very short word, “Fa” could be a surname also in other unrelated languages, like Chinese or other East-Asia languages.

fericzobor: Re: fa surname

“Holczius”-ból lett “Fa”. Ez nyilvánvalóan egy magyarosítás, mert németül “holz” jelent “fa”.

From “Holczius” to “Fa”: this is obviously a translation, since both German “holz” and Hungarian “fa” mean “wood”

John Fa: Re: fa surname

Dear Zsuzsa Vona,Thank you for your replies for my quest of the origines of my surname ( Fa ), which at this moment in time all points to Hungrian origins.I'm from Gibraltar (U.K)It's a penisular at the southern end of spain, of a population just under 30,000 people, the Fa surname i would imagine has being here since at least 1850-1900 ,the surname has grown over the years to roughly 100 plus , but is only found in Gibraltar not in spain , so its definally not spanish in origin.Thanking you again and all that have contributed to my quest.I would be most grateful for more information,even photos would be nice too.God Bless.yours J.Fa

MBV: Re: fa surname

Kedves Zsuzsa!

Megtaláltam a dédmamád születési bejegyzését. Amikor 1874-ben házasságot köt Vona Demeterrel, akkor 18 évesnek volt írva. Miután kiderítettem, hogy Tiszasülyről származott, és ma az ottani anyakönyveket bogarásztam, eszembe jutott, szóval gyorsan megkerestem:

1855.05.06. Fa Anna - szülei: Fa György és Majer Erzsébet. Szülők lakhelye: Tiszasüly 63.

Üdv,
Béla

Poštovana gospodja Andijević Fa,
Kao što vidim Vaši predci su iz Kikinde po prezimenu Fa. Pošto, po mom saznanju nema mnogo porodica Fa u Kikindi bilo bi interesantno da me obavestite o imenu Vaših roditelja i eventualnim drugim rodjacima koje znate iz Kikinde.Možda bi mogao Vam pomoći u pronalaženju Vašoih rodjaka, naravno ako ste za to zaionteresovani.

Hi, udvozlet, pozdrav,

Veronika Fa (1885. Nov.15- 1978)
(cerka/lany/daughter of: Janos Fa and Vera Hody [accent / on o]
lived in Kikinda.
Is she somehow connected to these mentioned?
Da li je ova Veronika nekako povezana sa prethodno spomenutim?
Ez a Veronika lehet e hogy valami testver?

Poštovana Emma,
Bilo bi interesantno pogledati u Matičnim knjigama rodjenih pri Katoličkoj porti u Velikoj Kikindi ko su bili deda i baka Fa Veroniki. Ako su oni Fa Djerdj i Fa rodj. Barna Verona tada je otac Fa Verone, Fa Janoš, brat moje baka Fa Margite. Nažalos ne znam kako se zvala supruga Fa Janoša, a nažalost sada već ni nema u mojoj porodici, poreklom Fa, koga da pitam. Tako ne mogu 100% identifikovati Fa Veroniku.Kako sam rekao bilo bi interesantno znati ime njene dede i bake.
