Névsorától

Névsorától is a Hungarian word that translates to "from his/her/its name" or "from their name." It is a possessive form combined with a verbal prefix indicating origin or separation. The word is derived from "név" meaning "name" and the possessive suffix "-sor" followed by the ablative case suffix "-tól/-től." The specific suffix used depends on vowel harmony.

This grammatical construction is used in various contexts. For instance, one might say "Nem emlékszem a nevétől" which means "I don't remember from his/her/its name." It can also be used to indicate a departure from a name or title. For example, "Elvált a nevétől" could mean "He/She separated from his/her name," perhaps implying a change in identity or a renunciation of a former title.

The word is relatively uncommon in everyday spoken Hungarian but can be encountered in more formal or literary contexts. Understanding its etymology and grammatical function is key to deciphering its meaning within a sentence. The combination of possessive and ablative suffixes creates a nuanced expression of origin or detachment related to a name.
