Sándor is the Hungarian form of Alexander. Kovács in Hungarian means blacksmith.
The name Alexander originates from the Greek: Ἀλέξανδρος (Aléxandros; 'defending men'[2] or 'protector of men'). It is a compound of the verb ἀλέξειν (aléxein; 'to ward off, avert, defend')[3] and the noun ἀνήρ (anḗr, genitive: ἀνδρός, andrós; meaning 'man').[4] It is an example of the widespread motif of Greek names expressing "battle-prowess", in this case the ability to withstand or push back an enemy battle line.

In Hungarian, letters with diacritical marks (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Diacritic), which are sometimes called "accents", are considered different letters. For instance, they are listed separately in the alphabet (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hungarian_alphabet). In particular, the letter "á" is different from the letter "a".
