Origin and etymology of the name

Scholarly onomastic and linguistic analysis
Linguistic explanation and meaning

The name means 'son of Talmai' and is the Hungarian form of Bartholomew.

Detailed Slovak etymology analysis

Bertalan je maďarská podoba biblického mena Bartolomej. Jeho základom je aramejské spojenie bar Talmai vo význame „Talmajov syn“. Meno sa prostredníctvom gréckeho Bartholomaios a latinského Bartholomaeus dostalo do európskych jazykov; maďarčina z latinskej podoby utvorila formu Bertalan. Výklad samotného mena Talmai ako „bohatý na brázdy“ nie je úplne istý.
