Meaning & origin
(measured from records)Típusa: Helynévi eredetű, magyar családnév. Eredete: Alapszava az ősi uráli vagy finnugor eredetű és ’magasabb földkiemelkedés’ jelentésű hegy szavunk. Ennek ’valamivel ellátott, valamiben bővelkedő’ jelentésű -s képzős származéka Békés, Csanád, Csongrád, Heves, Hunyad, Kolozs, Szabolcs vármegyében településnévvé vált. Gyakran mint helynevek utótagja (Bánhegyes, Tiszahegyes, Vághegyes stb.) épült be a településnevek rendszerébe. Bármelyik ezek közül megkaphatta az ’onnan/oda való’ jelentésű -i képzőt, és eredetre, származási helyre utaló családnév lett belőle. Az összetett nevek előtagja később elmaradhatott. Elterjedtsége: Az Alföldön, különösen Bihar és részben Békés megyében gyakoribb.

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.
