Hungarian Names For Girls

Hungarian names are an interesting international name group that gets easily overlooked on Nameberry and elsewhere.
  1. Alida
    • Origin:

      Diminutive of Adelaide
    • Description:

      Alida had a brief flurry of popularity a hundred years ago but is rarely used today. But given the rise of so many names related to Adelaide and Adeline, Alida might be rediscovered.
  2. Kinga
    • Origin:

      Hungarian, Polish
    • Meaning:

      "brave"
    • Description:

      Though the name Kinga has penetrated the international consciousness via the Slovakian model Kinga Rajzak, it's a rare choice for American baby girls: Only six were named Kinga last year. Is that because Kinga sounds like pseudo-royalty, ala Princessa? Though with names such as Reign and Royal rising through the ranks, the time-honored Kinga may see more widespread usage.
  3. Edina
    • Origin:

      English
    • Meaning:

      "wealthy"
    • Description:

      Edina is an infectious-sounding Minnesota place-name, featured in the British cult hit TV show "Absolutely Fabulous." Edina is also a poetic name for Edinburgh and is a common name in contemporary Hungary. Though some sources list its origins as Hungarian, more peg it as a variation of Edwina, the feminine form of Edwin, an English name.
  4. Aliz
    • Origin:

      Hungarian variation of Alice, from German
    • Meaning:

      "noble"
    • Description:

      Aliz, traditionally spelt Alíz, is a Top 50 name in Hungary and puts a zippy spin, thanks to that final z, on the classic Alice. Its similarity to names such as Elise may cause some confusion, but its simplicity makes it a winner.
  5. Kera
    • Description:

      Kera is a feminine name with multiple cultural origins. In Greek, it relates to the word for 'horn' and could symbolize strength. In Slavic languages, it may be a variant of Kira, meaning 'throne' or 'ruler.' Some associate it with the Sanskrit word for 'ray of light.' Kera's simplicity and international adaptability have contributed to its modest usage across different countries. The name is appreciated for its brevity and contemporary sound while maintaining a timeless quality. Kera strikes a balance between uniqueness and accessibility, making it appealing to parents seeking a name that's distinctive without being difficult to pronounce or spell.
