Puzzle Contest #77 with Lizzy Cseh

Magyar surnames

In previous puzzles, I have highlighted the most popular male and female first names given to newborns in Hungary. It is only fitting to now learn the most common last names. Unlike first names, last names are usually not selected but passed down generation to generation. See if your last name is one of the most common in Hungary. My last name did not make the list. “Check” is the Americanized spelling for our család’s last name. Actually, the correct spelling of my surname is Cseh. When my great-grandfather Mihály came to America in 1913, the authorities at Ellis Island decided, for whatever reason, that his new last name would be Check. Does your family have a similar story of having their last name altered when entering America? If you have a such a story, I would love to hear about it.

Veteran's Day is Nov. 11. Remember to thank our veterans for their service and sacrifice so that we can be free.

Happy Thanksgiving!

Éljen a Magyar,

Lizzy Check (Erszi Cseh)
