'Bold text''''Bold text == Incorrect == " ... mother of prince Csaba. "
The word "csaba" is not a name. It means "the third son". Even if the "Csaba legends" are so widely spread in the Hungarian culture. Even if the word became a name today. An encyclopedia must point this out - if only the author would know this.

Origin of the name edit

There is no scholarly research/paper on the etymology of the name.
As prof. Badiny points out, the Sumerians called themselves "KU-MAH-GAR"s on the cuneiform tablets found there.(1) (Sumerian is their Akkad name invented and popularised by prof. Oppert)
The Egyptian Sun-god's name is Ra. The Sumer-Egyptian cultural exchange is commonly known.
Re-ka is perfectly formed Hungarian word meaning "little Sun" or "little sunshine". Which perfectly agrees not just with Hungarian grammar but also the way of thinking: see 'piroska' from Sumerian 'bir' meaning red.(2) BIR-> PIR -> PIR-OS (red-ish) -> PIR-OS-KA = little red (as the Sun is setting)
