How do I pronouce Szabolcs and what nationality please?

[Cosmos45]

Hello all, I have a client that I need to speak to tomorrow. His (I am assuming) name is Szabolcs. Can anyone advise how I pronounce this and what nationality the person is? I have tried to google but not had much luck.

Thanks

Likely Hungarian.

There's a recording of the pronunciation here: szhorvat.net/pelican/pages/name.html

Just say 'Hi! I've only seen your name written down, can you tell me how to pronounce it please?' Usually does the trick for me!

sounds Hungarian - sz is pronounced s, and cs - Ch. so sob-olch, stress on first syllable ....

I have a facebook friend of that name. I've not known how to pronounce it, but he is Hungarian.

Funnily enough I came across someone with that name last week. He's Hungarian and it's pronounced something like 'saboltch'.

Sounds Hungarian but would ask how he pronounces it.

Might be different dialects/accents within Hungarian, so could be easier to check what he prefers in a lighthearted way as @Heartlake suggests than trying to guess.

It’s Hungarian, SAH-bolts

Thank you all!
