* there is a village called Karakó in Vas county (western Hungary); it becomes Karakai when the -i "of, from" suffix is added to make a locative byname/surname. Kázmér s.n.

Another option: Fehértói has a header for a personal name Karapa, with one citation dated to 1299. It was too rare to show up as a surname in Kázmér, but other names from the same period generally became unmarked patronymics, with the occasional marked example with -fi "son" or -i "of". (The latter sort often can't be told apart from locatives, because the most common pattern of Hungarian placenaming was to use the name of the local landlord, unchanged, as the name of the place.) This means that Karapa or Karapai (which can also be spelled Karapay) should be usable as a surname in a Hungarian name. | |||
