Does anyone know if there is/was a particular part of Hungary in which the REMAK surname was prevalent? And whether or not is was a common surname or was unusual? Thank you. Lou Barsi Lou, Joe Jarfas's Remak findings would be important to you. Have you ever seen it spelled Remek? I did a cursory look into my alpha Hungarian surnames lists and didn't find any Remak. However, one of my sources listed a Remekházy who died in 1917 and had the Barok(k) status (Baroque).There wasn't a given name, nor notations as to how prevalent the surname is. The suffix "hazy" is curious. A hazi spelling is "household". Why change the "i" to "y"? Anyone know? You may be interested - when I Googled Remek, Hungary I came up with this site which also includes Remok. It's long, but an interesting read. It mentions how Hungarian names were changed to Slav spellings through assimilation. Maybe some were done prior to 1920 - (Trianon). If you are interested in researching the Remek spelling there are more related web sites - Google,,,,,, Remek,Hungary.
