Hungarian Brazilians (Portuguese: húngaro-brasileiros or magiar-brasileiros) are Brazilian citizens of full, partial, or predominantly Hungarian ancestry, or Hungarian-born people who emigrated to Brazil.[3][4]
The Hungarian government claims there are between 80,000 and 100,000 Brazilians of Hungarian descent,[5] most of them living in São Paulo and 8-10% living in Rio de Janeiro.
The Hungria Family
The Hungarian brothers João Carlos and Francisco Hofbauer (Portuguese written) came to Brazil from the city of Raab (today Győr) in 1826, escaping from political persecution. By the time they arrived in Brazil, they changed their surnames from Hofbauer to Hungria (Hungary, in Portuguese), founding the Hungria family in Brazil. [1]
for a given period of time. There is also the former Hungarian Baptist Church, that recently changed its name to Igreja Batista Metropolitana, in the Lapa neighborhood of São Paulo, on Pio XI street. A large Hungarian community erected this church in the mid 20th century, and held services in Hungarian until 1998. Today all services are in Portuguese, but a few descendants of the Hungarian community still can be seen in this church.
