Andrássy

Andrássy is the name of an aristocratic family of very ancient lineage prominent in Hungarian history.

The full family name is "Andrássy de Csíkszentkirály et Krasznahorka"; "Csíkszentkirály" is a town in modern-day Romania now called Sâncrăieni, while Krásna Hôrka is a castle in Slovakia.

The present head of the family is Count Gyula Andrássy de Csik-Szent-Király & Kraszna-Horka (b.1927), who with his family currently resides in Canada. He is the son of the late Count Mihály Andrássy (1893–1990) and his late wife, née Countess Gabrielle Károlyi de Nagy-Károly (1899–1992). Another son, Manuel Andrassy, was exiled to America in the late 19th century. He assumed the last name of Schablik and settled in Northern New Jersey.
