Meaning & origin(measured from records)

Típusa: Helynévi eredetű, magyar családnév. Eredete: Az Abony településnév talán az ótörök ’apa’ jelentésű *Aba névből keletkezett. Előbb magyar -n kicsinyítő képzővel magyar személynév alakult a török jövevénynévből (*Abon), majd az -n a név végén sok nyelvjárásban - ny-nyé vált (palatalizálódott), így jött létre a mai Abony változat. Ezután magyar névadással (minden végződés vagy összetétel nélkül) településnév lett belőle Baranya, Csanád, Heves, Külső-Szolnok, Zemplén vármegyében. Bármelyikhez járulhatott az ’onnan/oda való’ jelentésű -i képző, s így eredetre, származási helyre utaló családnévvé vált. Elterjedtsége: Pesttől keletre, délkeletre 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.
