Original name

From the history articles I've read I believe there's a standard on EN wiki whereas the english name is put forward and in brackets the native name/s. This article can't really follow that pattern as there's hard to come with an translation into English for the original name but should nevertheless be used instead. Elisabeta Sălăjan was the person original name with the last name Sălăjan given from the region she was born in which was Sălaj, called by Hungarians Szilágy which was one of the many original names changed by Hungarians once they crossed the Carpathians and conquest Transylvania at the end of the 10th century. Given that there isn't an english translation for Sălăjan I've put it forward instead, and left the Hungarian name in parentheses. I don't see an issue with this, but if there is one please explain here. Maok3 (talk) 06:27, 21 July 2016 (UTC)[reply]
