Németh is a Hungarian surname. In Hungarian, német means "German" (the word has Slavic origin, literally meaning "he does not speak", since German is not a Slavic language);[1] the h is a remnant of obsolete Hungarian spelling, as frequently found in names, especially in families of noble origin. Alternate spellings include "Nemeth", "Neimeth", "Német", "Nemath", "Namath", "Nameth", "Nemet" and "Nimitz". The name is also common in Austria and Germany. It is an uncommon given name.[citation needed] People with the name or its variants include:[2]
