Névhasználatban

Névhasználatban, a Hungarian term, translates to "in name usage" or "regarding the use of names." It refers to the legal and social aspects of how individuals and entities use names in Hungary. This encompasses personal names, company names, and other designations.

In the context of personal names, Hungarian law dictates certain rules regarding the choice and registration of given names and surnames. While parents generally have freedom in selecting a child's name, there are restrictions to prevent names that could be considered offensive, harmful to the child's well-being, or not in accordance with Hungarian naming traditions. Surnames are typically inherited, though there are provisions for changing them under specific circumstances.

For legal entities, such as companies and organizations, "névhasználatban" concerns the registration and exclusive use of their official names. Companies must register their names with the relevant authorities, and the chosen name cannot be identical or confusingly similar to existing registered names to avoid misleading the public. This ensures fair competition and prevents trademark infringement. The term can also extend to the appropriate and ethical use of names in public discourse, advertising, and official documents, ensuring clarity and avoiding misrepresentation.
