Abstract:
ANDRÁS KOVÁCS, Research on the Hungarian personal names
of the Sub-Carpathian region, Ukraine //
This paper gives a summary of research on the Hungarian personal names of the Sub-
Carpathian region, Ukraine. Initially, the Hungarian personal names of the region were mentioned
only marginally in the works of Russian/Ukrainian dialectologists. After the establishment of the
Hungarian Department of Ungvár (Uzhhorod) State University, local Hungarian personal names
were more frequently studied by linguists. Research on the Hungarian personal names of the
region has been rapidly progressing since the second half of the 1990s: fieldwork today is carried
out by professors, PhD and undergraduate students. As a result, characteristics of local surnames,
Christian names as well as bynames are nowadays regularly described in studies published partly
in Hungary, partly in Ukraine.
