Meaning & origin(measured from records)

Típusa: Helynévi eredetű, szláv családnév. Eredete: Alapszava, a szlovák Spiš a magyar Szepes helynév átvétele, amely valószínűleg ősi, finnugor eredetű szép szavunkból alakult először személynévvé önállóan is, ’valamivel ellátott’ jelentésű -s képzővel is. A Szepes egyéni név magyar névadással település nevévé vált Bihar, Sáros és Szepes vármegyében. Az utóbbi -ség képzővel (Szepesség) az egész tájnak a neve lett a Történelmi Magyarország északi részén. Ezt vette át a szlovák nyelv Spiš formává változtatva, és toldotta meg az ’onnan/oda való’ jelentésű szlovák -ák képzővel, és így vált családnévvé. Jelentése ’szepesi, szepességi származású’. A különböző írásváltozatok a magyar helyesírás bizonytalanságából erednek. Elterjedtsége: A nyelvterület északi, északkeleti részén, Borsod és Abaúj megyében, különösen Torna városban gyakori.

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.
