Talk:Justina Szilágyi

Ilona's surname

Why do people spell her last name, Szilágy, without the "i"? I know Szilagy is understandable because that is the more Romanised form, but should Ilona's last name be changed from Szilágy to Szilágyi in the Vlad III Dracula page? By the way, Szilágy is Hungarian, and it is a name of a county in Hungary. By adding the "i" at the end, it will mean something like "from the county of Szilágy". Maybe there should be a note on how the English spelling is Szilagy while the correct Hungarian one is Szilágyi. A lot of internet websites spell her Hungarian spelling of the name incorrectly. 70.170.72.134 (talk) 01:57, 17 February 2009 (UTC)[reply]

I've heard two variations on her name. One giving her the surname Hunyadi, as in John, and the other in her middle name being Elisabeth. Are either of these supported? 198.7.245.75 (talk) 04:58, 4 October 2009 (UTC)[reply]

About her middle name being "Elisabeth". I have searched for sources on the internet, and all sources hinting at her middle name being "Elisabeth" seem to stem from the Castlevania: Symphony of the Night video game character, Lisa Farenheights. She is incorrectly named "Ilona 'Lisa' Elisabeth Szilagy" by fans. As far as I know, none of the official Castlevania sources name her as that.

As for Ilona's possibility of having another surname, "Hunyadi", I'm not sure about that. The internet sources seem vague. There are some that even cite Ilona as "Ilona Szilágyi de Horogszeg", hinting that she is from Horogszeg/Horogssey, Hungary. Now I'm not very familiar with the land of Hungary, but the OP said that Ilona's last name, "Szilágyi", means that she is from the county of Szilágy, correct? Is Horogssey a county as well? Or is Szilágy part of that region? I'm confused. 76.3.152.89 (talk) 05:53, 29 October 2010 (UTC)[reply]
