• In Hungary, the traditional naming order is family name followed by given name. While locals may use a Western name order (e.g., István Kovács) when addressing foreigners, official documents maintain the Eastern order. Use formal titles or titles followed by the surname when addressing people, and reserve first names for people who have offered them. Public communication can be direct, and showing respect for the elderly (e.g., offering seats on public transport) is important. Removing shoes before entering a private home is customary. Loud public conversations are generally discouraged.
