Tom:

I think it is a last name.  In Hungary, the usual way to write a name is
surname first.

Zoltan:

I agree with you for the most part, but things are rarely simple.
Transyvania has had many owners over the years and like many areas of
the world, the current owners try to be the majority by deporting the
previous owners (or worse), and settling the area with their own.  I am
not suggesting that you are wrong in what you are asking for, just
saying that it's complicated.

I spent a few weeks there last year and I agree about its beauty.  I,
however, didn't have a Vanagon at my disposal.

Hungary, is doing well economically and makes quite a contrast to
Rumania (Romania), which borders on being 3rd world.  This is not the
fault of the common folks who are wonderful in both Hungary and
Rumania.  It is caused mostly by the personal ambitions of their
political leaders.
