| Zsolt Porpaczy: Re: Family History | Hi,
there is a lot of question concerning the origin of this name.
At the late 12th century there was a nobel family census/listing in Hungary and that time the family was mentioned. The first part (Por) can be originated from hungarian word: pór (meaning poor).
And there is a theory that the name is coming from the near austrian castle-village name:Purpach.(similar pronunciation to the latter mentioned hungarian village Porpác)
If you are still interested or you have some written or memorial info pls contact me and share this.
Best regards Zsolt Porpáczy from Hungary |
