Meaning & origin(measured from records)

Típusa: Apanévi eredetű, magyar családnév. Eredete: Előzménye a bibliai héber és ’Isten az én bírám’ jelentésű laynd [D™h nee ehl (D™niël)] a Martyrologium Romanumba (a Római Katolikus Egyház szenteket és boldogokat fölsoroló könyvébe) Daniel formában került be, s így lett magyar keresztnév is, csak a hangsúly hatására megnyúlt az első magánhangzója (-™- > -á-). A keresztnévből minden toldalék nélkül apai családnév lett ’Dániel nevű személy fia, leszármazotta’ jelentéssel. Elterjedtsége: Általánosan elterjedt, de Erdélyben sokkal gyakoribb.

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.
