invalid name, should be maybe Andreas Kiss von Zilah. I am not sure, is "Endre" alternative form of "Andreas" or second forename? Also, it seems that he is published under Zilahi-Kiss--Estopedist1 (talk) 07:36, 2 October 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Extremely late to replying to this comment, but as far as I can tell the current page name seems to be a mangling of both the German (?) and Hungarian forms of his name, and shortening "von" to "v." for some reason. In Hungarian language he seems to be known as "Zilahi Kiss Endre", and otherwise he is known as "Andreas Kiss von Zilah". English Wikipedia does state that "Endre" is a Hungarian form of "Andrew" which itself is derived from "Andreas", so it seems likely to me they are interchangable, yes. He also appears to be from the nobility, though sometimes I've seen his name as a taxon authority cited as "Kiss von Zilah". In any case, I'm going to move the page name to Andreas Kiss von Zilah as Estopedist1 suggested, if nobody objects. Monster Iestyn (talk) 20:18, 19 April 2021 (UTC)[reply]
