Fehérné

Fehérné is a Hungarian surname. The literal translation of the Hungarian word "fehér" is "white". Therefore, "Fehérné" translates to "Mrs. White" or "the wife of Mr. White". This indicates that the name is a patronymic or a matronymic, specifically denoting the wife of a man named Fehér.

In Hungarian naming conventions, the suffix "-né" is appended to a man's surname to denote his wife. For example, if a man's name is Kovács, his wife would be referred to as Kovácsné. Similarly, if a man's name is Fehér, his wife is Fehérné. This practice is common in Hungary and among Hungarian communities.

The surname Fehér itself is descriptive, likely originating from an ancestor who had white hair, a fair complexion, or perhaps was associated with the color white in some other way. As a surname, Fehér is relatively common in Hungary. Consequently, Fehérné also appears as a surname, though it is more accurately described as a title or a way of identifying a married woman by her husband's name. In formal contexts or when referring to a specific individual, the husband's given name would typically precede Fehérné, for example, "János Fehérné".
