Virag

• The given name we found as a Hungarian feminine name in "The World of Names: A Study in Hungarian Onomatography" by Be/la Ka/lma/n.
  • Kálmán's "World of Names" modernizes spellings and lacks dates for anything, so it should not be relied on as sole documentation.
• Fehértói under Viraag dates Wiraag to 1275 as a feminine name. There's also a heading for Viragus, with one (masculine) citation for Vyragus in 1237. (Modernly, virág is "flower", and virágos is "flowery".)
