Meaning & origin
(measured from records)Típusa: Helynévi eredetű, magyar családnév. Eredete: Talán ótörök eredetű, sólyom madárnevünk egészült ki a ’valamiben bővelkedő’ vagy ’valamivel foglalkozó’ magyar -s képzővel. Olyan helynévvé vált, ahol tömegesen fészkeltek a solymok, vagy pedig solymot tartó, sólyommal vadászó emberek, esetleg királyi solymárok éltek. Solymos nevű településünk volt Arad, Bihar, Bodrog, Csanád, Heves, Hunyad, Kolozs, Közép-Szolnok, Küküllő, Szabolcs, Temes, Trencsén, Ung, Zaránd és Zemplén vármegyében. Bármelyikhez kapcsolódhatott az ’onnan/oda való’ jelentésű -i képző, és eredetre, származási helyre utaló családnév lett belőle. Elterjedtsége: A nyelvterület közepe táján 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.
