[QUOTE="khl889, post: 60956, member: 104"]It's an abbreviation for the common given name [I]György[/I], the Hungarian version of [I]George[/I]. Remember that in Hungarian, family names come first, and [I]gy[/I] is treated as a single letter, like [I]ll[/I] in Spanish, so you can't abbreviate [I]György[/I] as [I]G[/I]. Note too that the family name in Hungarian is [I]Szabó; [/I]a search on [I]Szabo[/I] might turn up different results.[/QUOTE]
