| description | Based on research done in 2012, this paper presents how immigrant children educated in present-
day Hungarian public schools are named, paying special attention to name assimilation and
acculturation. Describing the characteristic features of given names and changes in name order is
important, because it may offer a basis for a better understanding of Hungarian historical onomastic
sources concerning the name use of immigrant groups. This research proves that the Hungarian
name order (family name + given name) is extremely influential today and shows no sign of ethnic
dependence in administrative or school communication. Inclination toward assimilation displayed
in the choice of the given name, in most cases, appears in informal names, and affects official
names only to a lesser degree. Functionally, the informal names are names for the child, usually
chosen by a parent or the child him- or herself. Mostly, these names are acknowledged Hungarian
given names, coinciding with those used in contemporary Hungarian communities; a small proportion
of the names under discussion, however, are morphologically modified forms, in which the
function of the present-day Hungarian diminutive suffix is presumably misinterpreted by the name
bearers. |
