Beginnings in Hungary
• Participation in the UN conferences on geographical names (1970s)
• Opening international opportunities
• Initiative to standardize the undersea feature names in Hungarian (1979)
• Hungarian delegate in the Commission on Marine Cartography of the ICA (1989)

Research team on geographical names
• Coordinator: Assoc. Prof. M. MÁRTON, Habil.
• Team: cartographer, geographer, geophysicist, linguist
• Three members in the Hungarian Commission on Geographical Names
• Teaching committments
• Undergraduate research programmes

Research philosophy
• Hungary: landlocked since 1920• Responsibility of cartographers in making
schoolbooks, atlases or scientific papers• Inter-disciplinary and international approach• Respect of the linguistic, geographic and
cartographic traditions of Hungary• Contracts with publishers• International relations• Beautiful Hungarian Map competition

Cooperation outcomes I:changes in Hungarian names
Due to the false interpretation of the origin:
• Atlantis (Atlantisz)-fenékhegy(Seamount named after a ship and not the sunken continent)
• Northwind- (Északi szél) hátság(Ridge named after a ship and not the northern wind)
• Natal (Natali)-fenékhegy(Seamount named after a ship and not the South African province)

Cooperation outcomes II:changes in Hungarian names
Due to the false interpretation of the name:
• Podvodnyik (Podvodnyikov)-medence(The -ov ending expresses genetive and is not part of the name of the basin)
• Newfoundlandi (Új-Fundlandi)-Nagy-padok − Grand Banks of Newfoundland (Wrong splitting of the name „New” Foundland)
![Page 19: Overview of Hungarian research in the standardization of undersea feature names](https://reader035.fdocuments.in/reader035/viewer/2022070404/56813afb550346895da38c08/html5/thumbnails/19.jpg)
Cooperation outcomes III:changes in Hungarian names
Due to inconsistent usage:• Nansen (Gakkel)-hátság
(The Russian name was only locally used for the ridge)
• Északi- (Norra) Midsjö-pad [bank]Déli- (Södra) Midsjö-padNagy- (Great) Sole-padKis- (Little) Sole-pad(Adjectives referring to location and size are translated)
