[Surname] Wajda
My husband has many relatives named Wajda, but all agree it is a shortened form of the original name. A birth certificate from 1900 lists the country of origin for the Wajdas as Hungary. This leaves me with several questions, which maybe someone with more familiarity with Eastern Europe could tell me:
1)What are possible long forms of Wajda?
2)Were they from what is now Hungary, or is the name more closely associated with a part of the Austro-Hungarian Empire that is now another country?
Any info much appreciated!
