Name

[edit]

I'm assuming that this name is given in the standard Hungarian order of family name first, then personal name. Probably should have a note somewhere on the page to clarify. --Khajidha (talk) 16:04, 5 December 2018 (EST)

The Hungarian Wikipedia has him listed as Simonyi Balázs, so I think Simonyi is his family name and we have it reversed as per English convention already. Or were you meaning a note to say his name in his native Hungarian is usally in reverse order to how we have it? --abates (talk) 18:47, 5 December 2018 (EST)
I meant that whichever way it is, it should be explained somewhere. --Khajidha (talk) 07:19, 6 December 2018 (EST)
If Simonyi is his family name, then why do we refer to him later in the article as Balázs? In similar situations we would not refer to a British or American artist by their personal name.--Khajidha (talk) 07:21, 6 December 2018 (EST)
