szelletével

Szelletével is a Hungarian surname. Its literal translation into English is "with its spirit" or "with its soul." The term "szellem" in Hungarian means spirit or ghost, and the "-vel" ending denotes the instrumental case, indicating "with" or "by means of." As a surname, it likely originated from a descriptive or metaphorical source, possibly related to a person's perceived temperament, a characteristic of their dwelling, or perhaps even a place name. Like many surnames, its exact origin and initial adoption are often difficult to trace definitively and can be lost to historical records. Individuals bearing the surname Szelletével can be found primarily in Hungary and in diaspora communities with Hungarian heritage. Genealogical research may reveal specific family lineages and potential ancestral occupations or social standings that could offer further clues to the surname's etymology. The surname's unique and somewhat poetic meaning distinguishes it and may have held particular significance for the families who first adopted it.
