The history of the last name Asztalos

The surname "ASZTALOS" is of Hungarian origin and can be traced back to the medieval period in Hungary. It is derived from the Hungarian word "asztalos," which means "carpenter" or "joiner." The name likely originated as an occupational surname, referring to someone who worked as a carpenter or furniture maker.

The earliest recorded instances of the name can be found in Hungarian documents and records from the 14th and 15th centuries. It is believed that the name was particularly prevalent in the regions of central and western Hungary, where woodworking and carpentry were common trades.

One of the earliest known bearers of the name was István Asztalos, a carpenter who lived in the town of Esztergom in the late 14th century. His name is mentioned in a few local records from that time, indicating his occupation and residence.

Another notable figure with the surname Asztalos was Gergely Asztalos, a skilled woodcarver who lived in the city of Buda in the 15th century. He is known for his intricate woodcarvings that adorned various churches and buildings in the region.

In the 16th century, the name appeared in the records of the Principality of Transylvania, where a family of Asztalos carpenters and woodworkers settled. One of their descendants, János Asztalos, became a respected master carpenter in the city of Kolozsvár (now Cluj-Napoca, Romania) in the early 17th century.

A famous bearer of the name in more recent history was Kálmán Asztalos, a Hungarian writer and poet who lived from 1909 to 1986. He was known for his works that explored themes of rural life and the Hungarian countryside.
