An a tergo dictionary of Hungarian family names, with an English introduction and categorization. The corpus is based on a well-founded and rich collection of 14,101 different historical Hungarian family names, originally published in Miklós Kázmér's Dictionary of Hungarian Historical Family Names: 14th-17th Centuries (Budapest, 1993, 1172 pp.). It publishes the date of the first occurrence of the name, and identifies the name category with codes. The full name lists of family name categories are published in an appendix. The work aims to be a tool to the typology-centred analysis of the Hungarian family name stock, also for researchers of other countries.An a tergo dictionary of Hungarian family names, with an English introduction and categorization.

Conference Paper
In this study, the author aims to develop the analysis begun on the occasion of ICONN 4. The present article is focused on anthroponyms whose origin is different from Romanian, in view of illustrating the multiculturalism of Haţeg. Therefore, a sequential depiction of old Romanian anthroponymy is proposed, to complete the descriptions made over the years for other parts of the Romanian lands. The multiethnic anthroponymic picture remains evocative of one of the most dynamic towns of the olden days, situated at a crossroads. The interpretation of anthroponyms in Haţeg is carried out from various perspectives, but the predominant approach pertains to onomastics. This can be accounted for through the content or the particularities of the Haţeg registry book, which contains a significant number of personal names (first and last names). Due to the publication of the documents outside Romania, in Latin, Hungarian or German, the description of certain anthroponyms is difficult to achieve
