Hungarian Names

Hungarian form of Bartholomew

See ISIDORE.

Arpad is a hero name in Hungary, belonging to the Second Grand Prince of the Maygars, who established a dynasty that ruled for four centuries. Not heard often here, but is associated with the French-born financier who got his name from an earlier Hungarian banker and who's been involved with two of the world's most beautiful women — he is, in fact the father of Rosalind Arusha Arkadina Altalune Florence Thurman-Busson.

Though she's left the large and small screens, Zsa Zsa (born Sári) Gabor is not forgotten, and this name will forever be associated with her.

Even more Olde World, especially with that accent.
