Khiány

Khiány is a term that may appear as a proper name or as a variant in non-Hungarian contexts. It is not the standard spelling of the common Hungarian noun for deficiency or shortage.

In Hungarian, the correct noun for deficiency or lack is hiány, written with a colloquial diacritical mark over the i. The spelling Khiány with a leading K is not part of standard Hungarian orthography and is typically encountered only as a surname or as a transcription variant in texts that do not preserve Hungarian diacritics. When used as a surname, Khiány would be treated as a personal name rather than a common noun, but there is no widely cited set of notable individuals associated with this spelling in major reference works.

Because information about Khiány as a surname or proper name is limited, references to it are usually context-specific and require reliable biographical sources to identify any individuals or family histories. In linguistic discussions, the form Khiány may also be mentioned as a potential transliteration or misspelling in multilingual materials where diacritics are dropped or altered.
