Abstract

This paper aims to show that Loránd Benkő’s new (2009) etymological approach to the Ancient Hungarian patronym szovárd is basically the same as Sándor Csizmadia Somogyi’s from 1826. However, there is a great discrepancy between the two methods, so I have emphasised the elements from Benkő’s argumentation which can be useful for the future and those that have already been reflected on as weak points. Furthermore, I give two other cases when nineteenth-century scholarly articles were forgotten but their main points were discovered as new results by others as their own in the past few decades. Finally, the most recent works already see the problem of the patronym szovárd from a new point of view that can be fruitful.
