List of Hungarians From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia. The following is a list of famous Hungarians taken mainly from The Hungary Page' at Nobel Prize Winners and Famous Hungarians . People with some degree of Hungarian origin (typically a Hungarian parent or grandparent) but who were not Hungarian citizens and who were not born in Hungary can be found in the List of people of Hungarian origin . A list of famous Hungarian Jews can be found in List of Hungarian Jews , overlaps with which are starred. The Hungarian language uses the eastern name order for Hungarian names, in which the family name comes first, and the given name (or first name ) goes second. In foreign text contents, however, the western name order is used to avoid confusing those not familiar with this custom. As an example, the name Bolyai J¡nos is the ethnic form, in english text it will appear as Janos Bolyai – with western name order and accent marks stripped; Bolyai is the family name here. The names below are listed in Hungarian (eastern) order with some exceptions, most frequently for entertainers' names (e.g., Harry Houdini, the Gabor sisters). However, the Wikipedia articles that they link to have their names in western order (given name followed by family name). Contents Maths and Sciences Arts, Entertainment and Literature

94. HoudiniNão Existem Dúvidas Que Houdini é O Mais Famoso Mágico Da História. Translate this page Houdini nasceu no dia 24 de Março de 1874 em Budapeste, na Hungria. Influenciado pelo livro, Ehrick mudou seu nome para Harry Houdini, com a esperança http://www.jewishbrazil.com/houdini.htm

Houdini Não existem dúvidas que Houdini é o mais famoso mágico da história. Sua habilidade em escapar de situações de extremo risco e de fazer o impossível o tornou uma lenda em sua época. Ainda hoje seus feitos são admirados e imitados por mágicos do mundo inteiro! Houdini nasceu no dia 24 de Março de 1874 em Budapeste, na Hungria. Seu verdadeiro nome era Ehrich Weiss. Houdini dizia ter nascido na cidade de Appleton do estado de Wisconsin, nos Estados Unidos, mas na verdade sua família se mudou para lá quando ele tinha quatro anos de idade. Seu pai se chamava Samuel, e era um rabino. Sua mãe se chamava Cecilia, e seus irmãos se chamavam Theodore, Leopold, Nathan, William e Carrie. Como a família era pobre, todos os filhos começaram a trabalhar cedo para ajudar na renda, e a partir dos oito anos Ehrich começou a vender jornais e engraxar sapatos. Ehrich se mudou para Nova York com sua família aos 13 anos, com esperanças de melhorar de vida. Seu pai viria a falecer cinco anos mais tarde, em 1892. Em Nova York, Ehrich trabalhou como mensageiro e em uma fábrica de gravatas. A cidade iria mudar a sua vida e introduzi-lo no mundo da magia.
