Thank you, Zsombor, I corrected the title. Appreciate the added etymology too - hadn’t realized the ‘castle of bones’ meaning, very interesting.

a 'y' is still missing from the end...

To not appear purely as a spelling authoritarian, I'd add that '-i' and '-y' (pronounced identically) indicates 'of or from a location' in Hungarian, and, especially its '-y' form, is a marker of nobility. C.f., the well-known Esterházy family).
