Meaning & origin
(measured from records)Típusa: Helynévi eredetű, magyar családnév. Eredete: Két különböző személynévből magyar névadással (minden végződés vagy összetétel nélkül) alakulhattak Karád településneveink. Egyik az ótörök eredetű, ’fekete’ jelentésű qara szó, amely a törökben lett igen gyakori személynév, s a magyarba is bekerült. Itt kapta meg a magyar -d kicsinyítő képzőt, így gyakori egyéni névvé vált már az Árpád-korban. Ugyanakkor lehetséges, hogy a az ógermán eredetű, ’férfi, fiatalember, lovag’ jelentésű kerl a németben Karl formájú lett, s a latin Carolus keresztnéven keresztül egész Európában elterjedt, így Magyarországra is eljutott. Ennek egy szótagú rövidüléséhez (Kar-) -a- + -d kicsinyítő képző járult, így alakult ki a Karad ~ Karád forma. Mindkét, különböző eredetű személynév magyar névadással (minden végződés vagy összetétel nélkül) településnévvé vált Kolozs, Somogy, Vas, Zemplén vármegyében. Közülük bármelyik megkaphatta az ’onnan/oda való’ jelentésű -i képzőt, és eredetre, származási helyre utaló családnévvé lett. Elterjedtsége: A Dunán túl Tolna és Baranya megyében 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.
