Típusa: Életkorra, társadalmi helyzetre utaló, szláv családnév. Eredete: A szlovák nyelvjárások némelyikében él a šuhoj ’fiatalember, legény’ jelentésű szó. Ennek magánhangzói a magyarba kerülve válhattak nyíltabbá (-u- > -o-, illetve -o- > -a-). A név végi -j-nek -i-re váltása, majd annak elhagyása szintén a magyar nyelvű közegben történhetett.

About this data

measured from records inferred from the name graph machine-generated

These figures come from the data snapshot of and will change as it is rebuilt.

Statistics are aggregated from the Mondonomo name corpus; related names and etymology are inferred from the name graph; pronunciation and any machine-marked transliterations are model-generated. Read how the numbers are made, including their known failure modes, and where the data comes from.

Reference works we consult — surname dictionaries, official name registers, Wikidata and Wiktionary — are named directly, beside the claims they support. The per-country source counts also include datasets of person records: we publish how many there are and their authority tier, but not their names.
