Meaning & origin
(measured from records)Típusa: Tulajdonságra utaló, magyar családnév. Eredete: Ótörök eredetű tar melléknevünk jelentése ’kopasz, szőrtelen, szakálltalan’. Külső tulajdonságra utaló családnév lett belőle. Több vidéken a szó magánhangzója megnyúlt, és gyakori a Tár ejtése, erre utal a néha előforduló -aa- a nevekben. A név végi két -rr használata csak írásszokás, nem tükröz hosszú -rr-es kiejtést. Elterjedtsége: A Tar alakok a Dunától keletre, a Tarr formák a Dunán túl gyakoribbak.

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.
