Hello fellow listers, I tried to post this message earlier this morning using a wifi connection at a MacDonalds, but for some reason I could not send an email using Outlook, therefore I am copying this message and resending.

They are from the north eastern part of Hungary that is now Romania. Thank you. Margaret Margo, I believe Zsolt is short for Zsoltan which is a male first name. It also can be Zsoltana which is a female first name. Hope this helps, Laszlo (Les) Josa

And there are no 'translation' for either of them. Original, ancient Hungarian given names - both of them.

Joe no problem. I never said it was a fact. I don't mind being corrected matter a fact if I am misinformed I want to be corrected. No apology needed.

Hi everyone, I want to thank you all for the response to my question. If I had thought, I could have figured out it might be Zolton, that name I know. I also found a Iolon along with the Jolon. Do you suppose that is the same name? I really thought I was more familiar with Hungarian names. Guess not. Again, thank you.

Margaret Watch them fingers, Margaret, Zoltán, as well as Jolán have the letter 'a' in them! :-) Iolon might be mis-spelling or could be the Greek equivalent of Jolán (à la Ioannis for John).
