Tibor 'male given name' /Hungarian

Take your pick :-

Middle Eastern

Greek references mention the people called "Tibar and Moser" who were metal workers of the Caucasus agree with the Biblical Tubal (Tibar) and Mes'ek (Mosher). These are believed by some historians to be the distorted names of Subar (Tibar) and Machar (Moser), which can also mean varieties of smiths in the Hungarian language. Mozser meaning sword smith while Tibor meaning smith in the past, but not any more. Similarly in Sumerian tibir=smith while Turkic timur=iron. Today Tibor in Hungarian is just a masculine name. [source]

Slavic

Various (baby name) websites claim that it is of Slavic origin with meaning 'sacred place'

Latin

(a) Tibor derives from the Latin meaning the river Tiber (Tiberius) or,
more loosely, "holy place". [source]

(b) Tibor is a form of Tiburtius [source]

Tiburcio is the Spanish and Portuguese form of the Roman cognomen
Tiburtius which meant "of Tibur".

Tibur (now called Tivoli) was a resort town near Rome.

Some historic speculation

(1) Charles Anthon, A Classical Dictionary, Published 1841, Original from the New York Public Library, Digitized 17 Oct 2007

"TIBUR was an ancient town of Latium, northeast of Rome, on the banks of the river Anio. According to Dionysius of Halicarnassus, it was originally a town of the Siculi, the most ancient inhabitants of Latium and as proof he says that the name Sicelion was still attached to a part of the place.

The name of Tibur is of a later origin claimed by some to have been founded by Catillus an officer of Evander while some claim Catillus was a son of Amphiaraus who with his two brothers conquered the Siculi and named one of their towns Tibur after his brother Tiburtus. Catillus was perhaps a Pelasgic chief. The modern name of Tibur is Tivoli."

(2) John H. Manas, Divination Ancient and Modern, Published 2004, Kessinger Publishing, Body, Mind & Spirit / Divination / General, 320 pages, ISBN:1417949910

"According to Dionysius of Halicarnassus, Tibur was originally a town of the Siculi, the most ancient inhabitants of Latium."

(3) Andrew Lumisden, Remarks on the Antiquities of Rome and Its Environs, Published 1812, Printed by W. Bulmer and Co. for G. and W. Nicol, Rome (Italy), 478 pages, Original from the New York Public Library, Digitized 26 Jul 2007

"Dionysius of Halicarnassus tells us that Tibur was built by the Sicani who called it Sicillium. They were driven out by Tiburtus, Catillus and Corax the sons of Catillus, admiral of Evander's fleet. The town was named Tibur after the eldest son."

More Trivia from 19th. Century :-

According to William Hazlit, The Classical Gazetteer (1851). Scanned by Tim Spalding

(a) Sicani were a Celto-Ligurian people who settled in western Italy, and after the Umbri and Osci or Opici were probably its earliest inhabitants. From Italy, colonies were established in Sicily circa 1300 B.C.

(b) Siculi were also a Celto-Ligurian people who settled in western Italy after the Sicani. They settled in Sicily circa 1260 B.C.

(c) Sĭcĭlĭa (Sicania, Trinarcia) named Sicilia after the Siculi, Sicania after the Sicani and Trinarcia for the three promontories marking its triangular outline.

Interesting to speculate that the aboriginal Siculi were somehow related to the Hungarian Szekely who still exist in today's Transylvania.

tömeg mass; quantity; crowd; mob /Hungarian < töm

Uralic

According to [dm] Hungarian tömeg is a recent invention. It was first coined in the 19th. Century.

tömeg was derived from the verb töm (to fill). The suffix -g was not productive in this period, despite its vogue in word-inventing linguistic circles, and has not been productive ever since. Hence current language users lexicalize tömeg separately from töm and have no intuitive feelings about the etymological connections of the two words. [dm]

Uralic

Although this word is now apparently archaic/obsolete in Hungary proper, it is still used by the Hungarian Székely nation in Transylvania once a part of the kingdom of Hungary.

[fh] thinks that the archaic/obsolete Hungarian word ügy may be related to Hungarian üde "fresh, blooming"

{Hungarian /gy/ sounds like palatised /d'/}

One official thinks ügy is of debated origin but could be related to Hungarian víz water. [Chong]

ügy is used mainly as an element in place names but might also be considered as an obscure base in some derivatives. [Chong]

{Hungarian /gy/ like a palatised /d'/}

Etelköz (Atelcuzu, Atelköz) was the name of the Magyar/Hungarian homeland circa 887-895 A.D. located directly in the foreground of the Carpathians, along the Dnieper, the Dniester, and the Sereth.

Accordingly, Etel-köz consists of etel "great waters" (archaic) + suffix -köz "between" that is, "the area between rivers".
