Hungarian names includes both surnames, given names and (sometimes) middle names, or "second given names". When speaking or writing the Hungarian language these names invariably use the "Eastern name order", or family name followed by given name, except in foreign language text. The Hungarian language is the only major national language of a European and Western country to use this order, though some regional languages like the Basque language and the Alemannic German dialect sometimes also do this.

Famous quotes containing the word names:
“Consider the islands bearing the names of all the saints, bristling with forts like chestnut-burs, or Echinidæ, yet the police will not let a couple of Irishmen have a private sparring- match on one of them, as it is a government monopoly; all the great seaports are in a boxing attitude, and you must sail prudently between two tiers of stony knuckles before you come to feel the warmth of their breasts.”
—Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)
