Ștefan or István?

Or both?

I gather that Birtalan was a Hungarian-speaking Romanian — not surprising for somebody from Transylvania. But shouldn't we clear up this business about his given name? The article title uses "Ștefan", whereas the infobox uses "István". Shouldn't both the article text and the infobox mention both names, if both were in common use?

Since Birtalan's name was never exactly a household word in the English-speaking world, I don't think we could apply the rule about the commonly used name in English, and so I think precedence should be given to the form that Birtalan himself preferred. Which one was that? Did he like being called Ștefan, or István? I rather imagine it was the latter, but I might be wrong.

Anyway, we should have something a bit better than the confusing situation that we have right now — an article title and an infobox title that disagree with each other. Now, I don't quite know how it should be; so somebody else will have to sort it out and make it into something a bit less confusing. Kelisi (talk) 17:25, 27 May 2024 (UTC)[reply]
