About the name Gyöngyi

Gyöngyi is a Hungarian feminine name derived from gyöngy, the Hungarian word for pearl. It is also used as a pet form of Gyöngyvér, a longer name created in the nineteenth century by the poet János Arany, who formed it from gyöngy and vér, blood. Names built from native Hungarian words in this way became part of the Hungarian name stock during the national revival of that period.
