In Hungary, given names, or first names, are typically chosen based on cultural, familial, or religious significance. Many names have traditional roots, often derived from Hungarian, Slavic, or Latin origins. Parents may also select names based on their popularity or uniqueness, with some names being more common in certain regions. Hungarian naming conventions often include a name day celebration, where individuals celebrate their given name on a specific day of the year associated with that name. Additionally, it is common for people to have a nickname or diminutive form of their given name, which is used in informal settings among friends and family.
