You might consider the possibility that Visegradan is Hungarian surname given a Romanian makeover. Visegrád is the name of a Hungarian town, and Visegrádi ia Hungarian surname. After World War I a large chunk of Hungary, namely Transylvania, was transferred to Romania. One result is that a substantial proportion of Romanian nationals are ethnic Magyars who speak Hungarian, and have Hungarian names.
