When it comes to baby names with Hungarian origins, there is no shortage of picks to sift through. So if you’d like to give your future son or daughter a Hungarian name, check out our list of plenty of beautiful and suitable options, many of which have heartfelt meanings.
The boy names Andor, Benci, and Pellegrin are popular in Eastern Europe but not too current in America, giving them great appeal to parents who value originality. The name Andor is of Norse origin and means “manly.” It derives from the Greek name Andrew, which is a popular boy’s name around the world. The name Benci is tied to the name Benji, which is short for Benjamin. This traditional Hungarian name means “son of the right hand or blessed.”
If you’d like to give your baby boy a name that honors your love of travel, you may take a liking to the name Pellegrin, which is Latin for “pilgrim” and means “stranger or foreigner.” This name isn’t too common outside of Hungary, making it an original pick.
Beautiful girl names that are all the rage in Hungary and other Eastern European countries are Ilona and Zigana, which mean “beauty or light,” and “Romani,” respectively.
