Talk:Győr

message: The ő in Győr has to be replaced with some other character in the English Wikipedia, otherwise the article title will look wrong due to character set difference. Now, we can use "Gyor", "Györ" or even "Gyõr". I'm not sure which is the best compromise. --Joy [shallot] 20:44, 18 Sep 2004 (UTC)
replies: text: The article content isn't the problem, it's the title. As long as the English Wikipedia continues to use Latin 1 as the character set for titles, the character no. 336 won't be shown properly in the title. --Joy [shallot] 12:20, 19 Oct 2004 (UTC)
thread_title: The double acute

message: The town got its Hungarian name Győr. Yes, but from where? Is it a lexical word of Hungarian? If so, what does it mean? If it's "just a name", where does it come from? --Angr/ 2 July 2005 17:56 (UTC)
It's an archaic version of the word gyűrű, which means ring. Possibly refers to a circular castle that stood here. (See also: Diósgyőr.) Sorry it took so long to answer, there aren't too many Hungarian editors here and I don't keep an eye on all articles :-) Alensha 13:14, 12 October 2005 (UTC)
thread_title:  The name 

message: Please someone tell me if we really need all these names in those nations' languages inhabiting this city. Were more of them than of Rusyns, Jewish people, Armenians etc.? Squash Racket (talk) 15:15, 19 January 2008 (UTC)
replies: text: Slovaks, Croatians, Germans used to live there in great numbers. The Turkish name is mentioned in the History section of the article, so is relevant too. Tankred (talk) 15:21, 19 January 2008 (UTC)

thread_title:  Name 

message: The second and third sentences read: "The first large settlement dates back to the 5th century BCE; the inhabitants were Celts. They called the town Ara Bona "Good altar", later contracted to Arrabona, a name which was used until the eighth century." It is unlikely the Celts called the city Ara Bona as that is bastardized Latin and is more likely what the Romans called the city. (Ara is the Latin name of the constellation 'the Altar' and some variation of bonum is good in many Romance languages.) In Celtic, it would be something similar to Athrú maith (according to Google translate) which is good altar in Gaelic, a Celtic language. It's possible that something like Arrabona was the name for the Celtics, but it was Latinized to a name acceptable to the Roman Catholic Church which dominated Central Europe at the time. I don't dispute Arrabona is an older name for the city. Just doubt the origin story of the name.  SEKluth (talk) 21:31, 30 May 2019 (UTC)

message: The Győr article starts out with:
Győr ... is the most important city of northwest Hungary ...
This doesn't seem like a neutral point of view?  — Preceding unsigned comment added by 108.218.245.40 (talk) 22:27, 9 December 2020 (UTC)
