The nearby city of Nyíregyháza, and the even closer town of Nyírtelek, both share the same prefix Nyír. After looking at at map of the area, several other villages share this word in their name as well.
Uncle Tim asked what this means, so here's the answer: birch tree.
I have yet to see thick birch groves, but apparently it's an historic part of the area.
So while I have a hard time remembering my days of the week and different words for foods, I am making progress on Hungary's vegetation.
