Meaning & origin
(measured from records)Típusa: Helynévi vagy apanévi eredetű, magyar családnév. Eredete: Az ótörök eredetű és ’társ, barát, útitárs’ jelentésű Čoltoš [Csoltos] személynév a magyarba kerülve megrövidült, az -l kiesése miatt az előtte álló magánhangzó megnyúlt (Csót). Olyan vélemény is van, amely szerint a Solt névvel azonos, de akkor is ótörök eredetű, csak az ’uralkodó’ jelentésű saltan szó (amiből a magyar szultán méltóságnév is lett) a név alapja. Mindenképpen Cholt ~ Choulth ~ Chold ~ Chot ~ Choth egyénnévvé vált az Árpádok korában, abból pedig magyar helynévadással (minden végződés vagy összetétel nélkül) településnévvé Arad, Baranya, Békés, Bihar, Pest, Temes, Veszprém vármegyében. Bármelyikhez kerülve az ’onnan/oda való’ jelentésű -i képző eredetre, származási helyre utaló családnévvé lett. Ugyanakkor a Csót ~ Csolt egyénnevekhez is járulhatott -i birtokjel, s akkor a jelentésük ’Csolté ~ Csóté, Csolt ~ Csót nevű személyé, annak fia, leszármazotta’. Elterjedtsége: A déli nyelvterületen, Dél-Alföldön 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.
