Detailed Slovak etymology analysis

Maďarské mužské meno vzniklo z názvu jedného zo starých maďarských kmeňov. Hlbšia etymológia kmeňového názvu je sporná; turkický výklad „dôverník, radca“ nemožno pokladať za definitívne dokázaný. V 19. storočí sa Jenő začalo používať ako maďarský náprotivok mena Eugen, ide však o dodatočné stotožnenie, nie o spoločný grécky pôvod.

Sources and scholarly methodology: Spornú etymológiu rozoberá Árpád Berta: Török eredetű törzsneveink, Nyelvtudományi Közlemények 92 (1991), najmä s. 21–24. Skloňovanie podľa typu kuli s príkladom Jenő – Jenőho uvádza Slovenská reč 46 (1981), č. 5. Uvedené domácke podoby sú maďarské, nie overený súbor slovenských zdrobnenín; zaznamenáva ich prehľad mena Jenő. Medzinárodné ekvivalenty predstavujú tradičné náprotivky cez meno Eugen, nie spoločný etymologický pôvod. Konkrétne heslo v monografii Milana Majtána nebolo priamo overené.
