Identification Analysis Definition

Name
Description

The Name identification analysis definition determines whether a string represents a correct Hungarian name.

Possible Outputs HUN
FOREIGN
OTHER
Examples Input Output
Kovács János HUN
Kovács Jánso FOREIGN
John Smith FOREIGN
Szimán OTHER
Remarks The Name identification analysis definition is used to identify incorrect Hungarian names. It has a limited capability to distinguish between Hungarian and foreign names. A misspelled given name with a common family name might be identified as "FOREIGN" rather than "OTHER" (see the second example).
