Position:Home>Genealogy> Hungarian names?Question: Hungarian names?Is Friedman a hungraian name? Best Answer - Chosen by Asker: Well, yes and no. There are people living in Hungary (who doubtless consider themselves Hungarian) with this surname -- a search of an online Hungarian phonebook (http://www.tudakozo.t-com.hu/) came up with 113 matches for Friedman. The name is not of Hungarian origin, however: it's a German byname based on a pet form of Friederich. As many answers above have noted, it's common among European Jewish families. |
