Hungarian names can be difficult due to a loss of diacritical marks when written in an English language context. I can't find a Hungarian Personey, but there is a surname Persányi, from a place name Persány. The only Persány I can find is in Transylvania, which was transferred from Hungary to Romania after World War I. So, although the surname is Hungarian its probable place of origin is now in Romania. Approximate pronunciation of Persány, PER-shawn-yee.
