Origin and etymology of the name

Scholarly onomastic and linguistic analysis
Linguistic explanation and meaning

A Hungarian name historically denoting a Danubian Bulgar, later adopted as an equivalent of Ferdinand.

Detailed Slovak etymology analysis

Nándor je maďarské mužské meno, ktoré sa v 19. storočí obnovilo, respektíve utvorilo ako maďarská podoba mena Ferdinand. Pri jeho vzniku sa využilo staršie maďarské etnonymum nándor s významom „dunajský Bulhar“, známe aj z historického názvu Belehradu Nándorfehérvár. S menom Ferdinand sa teda spája funkčne, nie priamym etymologickým odvodením.
