The family name is Csoma, and the word Körösi, meaning of Körös, stands as a designation, to show that he is a noble of Körös. Körösi, although an adjective, may be used either alone or as above, after Alexander, but in that case Csoma must be omitted; that is to say, Alexander Csoma Körösi would be a mistake. The terminal i in Körösi means of, hence de cannot stand before Körösi. When de is used, Körös must follow.

[25] Deductions based upon the etymology and similarity in the pronunciation of certain words, are not safe grounds upon which to rest scientific conclusions. Csoma has frequently shown his distrust of such. Yet such an objection need not preclude our noting down any striking examples which we may have fallen in with. What may have been the faith of the Magyar ancestors is not yet decided; this subject demands yet further investigation, especially in the direction in which Csoma laboured. Csoma says, with reference to the study of Tibetan, and especially of the Sanskrit, that his countrymen will find in it a fund of information respecting their national origin, manners, customs, and idiom.
