| fericzobor: Re: Hunsdorfer/Hunfalvy | Hunsdorfer is not derived from Hunfalvy, but vice-versa:
the renowned Hungarian linguist and ethnograph Pal Hunfalvy (1810-1891), born in Nagyszalok, changed some time around 1850 his original surname, Hundsdorfer, into Hunfalvy.
There was also a geograph (and mountain climber in High Tatra), Janos Hunfalvy (1820-1888), born he too in Nagyszalok, whose original surname was Hunsdorfer (not Hundsdorfer).
This Nagyszalok locality was in the Szepes County and now it is in Slovakia with the name Vel'ky Slavkov. |
