Meaning & origin
(measured from records)Típusa: Apanévi eredetű, magyar vagy szláv családnév. Eredete: Alapszava a vitatott eredetű Balázs keresztnév, amely vagy a görög í [Baszileiosz] ’királyi’ jelentésű személynévből, vagy valamely római kor előtti (preromán) itáliai nyelv Blaesus ’görbe lábú, sánta’ vagy ’selypes’ jelentésű ragadványnevéből (cognomenéből) származik. A keresztény névkincsbe, így a magyarba és a környező szláv nyelvekbe is a középkori latinon keresztül került be Bl™zsius hangalakban, amelyből később a latin -ius végződés elmaradt. A szláv nyelvek megtartották a szókezdő Bl- mássalhangzó-torlódást, s ellátták a sok nyelvben (a magyarban és a szlovákban gyakrabban, de az ukránban is) használatos -ko kicsinyítő képzővel. A - zsk- hangkapcsolatban a -zs- zöngésség szerint hasonult -s-sé. A magyar névkincsbe minden bizonnyal a szlovákból került be mint apai családnév, s jelentése ’Blaskó nevű személy fia, leszármazotta’. Kialakulhatott azonban a magyar nyelvben is a névkezdő mássalhangzó-torlódás (Bl-) a- bontóhanggal való föloldásával és magyar -kó kicsinyítő képzővel: Balaskó ~ Balasko. Elterjedtsége: A nyelvterület északi részén, elsősorban Nógrád és Heves megyében gyakoribb a Blaskó, a Dunán túl, különösen Tolna megyében pedig a Balaskó.

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.
