Meaning & origin(measured from records)

Típusa: Apanévi eredetű, magyar családnév. Eredete: Zeusz egyik állandó jelzője (epithetonja) volt a görög mitológiában a â [pantelész], aminek jelentése ’mindent beteljesítő’. Ebből alakult ki a görögben a â [Panteleémon] keresztnév, amelyet a katolikus egyház egyik mártírja is viselt, és a Martyrologium Romanumon (a Római Katolikus Egyház szenteket és boldogokat fölsoroló könyvén) keresztül a Pantaleemon és Pantaleon nevek az egész keresztény világban elterjedtek. (Ezek egyikéből lett a középkori magyar Pentele név is.) A magyar ejtésben a magánhangzó-harmónia megteremtése céljából az első szótag -a- hangja palatális -e-vé vagy -i-vé vált. A név rövidülése mellett (Pante- ~ Pente- ~ Pinte) az utána álló -e- hatására a -t- hang -ty-vé válása (palatalizációja) is bekövetkezett. A Pántye ~ Pintye tehát névváltozat (becenév), amely a Pantaleon keresztnévből alakult. Apai családnévként a jelentése ’Pántye ~ Pente ~ Pintye (Pantaleon) nevű személy fia, leszármazotta’. (A román Pantea ~ Pintea ~ Pîntea családnév a német pint ’ boroskancsó, űrmérték’ jelentésű szóból származik.) Elterjedtsége: Szinte kizárólag az ország északkeleti szélén, különösen a Hajdúságban, vagyis a görögkeleti vallású vidékeken fordul elő.

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.
