The surname "GYARMATI" is of Hungarian origin and can be traced back to the 15th century. It is derived from the Hungarian word "gyarmat," which means "colony" or "settlement." This suggests that the name likely originated from a town or village that was established as a colony or settlement during that time period.

One possible explanation for the origin of the name is that it referred to individuals who hailed from a particular settlement or colony. These settlements may have been established by Hungarian nobles or landowners as they expanded their territories or founded new communities.

One of the earliest recorded instances of the surname "GYARMATI" dates back to the late 15th century. Péter Gyarmati, born around 1470, was a Hungarian scholar and humanist who studied at the University of Krakow and later served as a secretary to King Matthias Corvinus of Hungary.
