Hungarian names

Thanks for the answer, especially who is from Hungary.

In my tree, if two people have the same name and surname, I generally don't want people to have exactly the same display name. This is my issue to write you because I have a lot of Hungarian people in my tree whose father have the same name and I would like to distinguish them. Initially I did what I do with the English-speaking names, writing Jnr and Snr.. I then observed the rules about patronyms in Hungary. I asked the AI if it is better to use that rule in such cases instead of Jnr. and Snr. which is a practice in those countries and AI said yes.

However in my question to AI about András Fülöp was confusing. While his father has the same name, it suggested me to write Andras Fülöpfi. I then asked what if his father was Janos Fülöp and the AI said András Jánosfi! I don't understand why in the one case it put the -fi to the surname and in the other case to the father's name.

Do you have any idea how I can distinguish a Hungarian father and son with the same name? In the past, could someone be András Andrásfi?

When -fia could be used?

I search @Tamás Flinn Caldwell-Gilbert tree. I saw that in some profiles he has the data only in Hungarian and in other in English! What's the criteria to do that? As a curator. does he consider acceptable to not have some names in English? Also, as for display name, would you recommend me to write the surname first?

What about senior people?

What do the other Hungarians do in case of language name fields? Do they choose English and revert the display name or they do like you?

@Tamás Flinn Caldwell-Gilbert, as you discribe for me that there is Snr and Jnr in Hungarian, it will not be bad to leave it as it is in English since it has the same meaning. There is no reason someone to read Idősebb who doesn't speak Hungarian. AI wrote me that Jnr and Snr was never used in Hungarian.

Since -fi means "son of", what were Hungarians using for "daughter of"?

@ Leanne M (Volunteer Curator - Australia) 🇦🇺 i didnt understand your 2nd post.

So you are telling me to write both Hungarian and English with the way is written in each language, right?

That what I meant. Thanks. Actually that what I do except if it is necessary, where as I said I might want to distinguish that someone who has the same name and surname with others.

Tamas told me about Idősebb for Snr. in Hungarian. So since I need to distinguish them I will use both in each language I guess?

What about some people I find in myheritage with -fi at the end or -ne. I must add them in such cases or ignore them?

If I have a Hungarian name surname who is son of József. I want to distinguish it from another person who has name surname the same. I will use Józseffi. I write Surname Józseffi Name or Józseffi first in Hungarian language?

I've learnt recently that in some countries women don't change their name by marriage even in official BDM records. They will always be known by their birth names. However if they emmigrate to an english speaking country official records will record them using their husband's surnames and until recent times without regard of their personal wishes. And newspapers didn't even use their first names but as Mrs whatever the name of their husband was.
This makes it hard for a software algorithm to successfully find matching records and newspaper articles.
So i would encourage people to add language tabs, to record the names an individual would be known by in the countries that they lived in especially if they moved through different countries that used different methods to record someone, or different ways to record the same name in different alphabets. Doing so will help the search algorithms to find the records and smart matches that you are looking for.

Leanne, the name of the father is József. Józseffi was used sometimes in Hungary to say "son of " as we said. You will tell me this is not used anymore. I know. As I said I never want in my tree two people with exactly the same display name! That's why I am asking this question. If you don't like the idea of "-fi", I am asking you, do you have any alternative suggestion for distinguishing the names?
