Meaning & origin

Típusa: Apanévi eredetű, szláv családnév. Eredete: Végső forrása a ’kicsi, kis, csekély, kevés’ jelentésű parvus szó. Ez már a latin nyelvben Paulus alakban lett ragadványnév (cognomen), majd nemzetségnév, s gyakori egyénnév. Az egész keresztény világban kedvelt keresztnévvé vált. A szlávban is gyakori volt. A szlovákban gyakran lett belőle családnév -ik képzővel, így jelentése ’Paul ~ Pavl nevű személy fia, leszármazotta’. Elterjedtsége: A Paulik előfordulása inkább a Felvidéken, Nyíregyháza környékén és a Dél-Alföldön, főleg Békéscsaba környékén, a Pavlik pedig Nógrád megyében gyakoribb, de előfordul Békéscsabán is.

About this data

measured from records inferred from the name graph machine-generated

These figures come from the data snapshot of 2026-10-13 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.
