The study aims to analyse the processes of transonymisation and deonymisation of the proper name Fregoli in Hungarian. Leopoldo Fregoli (1867–1936) was a quick change artist in the first half of the 20th century and (after a brief artistic tour in Budapest) became famous in Hungary, too: his great popularity resulted in various uses of his family name. The most used meaning of the word fregoli in Hungarian is ‘clothes airer’: the explicitations of this and other antiquated and new meanings are treated in this paper.
