According to the 2004 survey it is not in the top 100, that is in Hugary there are less than 10,000 people with this name.<ref name=KEKKH>\n{{cite web|\nurl=http://www.nyilvantarto.hu/kekkh/letoltes/csaladnev2009.xls|title=Lakoss\u00e1gi sz\u00e1madatok|publisher=K\u00f6zigazgat\u00e1si \u00e9s Elektronikus K\u00f6zszolg\u00e1ltat\u00e1sok K\u00f6zponti Hivatala|date=2009}}\n</ref> In spite of this fact, one can find V\u00e1nyis almost in the whole country, and sometimes even beyond the borders of Hungary.\n\nIt would be improvident to assume that it is one single family according the law. But is might be not that wrong to speak about the V\u00e1nyi family in general, should we consider people living in [[F\u00f6ldes]], [[Veresegyh\u00e1z]], [[Cegl\u00e9d]] or even in California.\n\nThe aim of this page is to collect as much information on V\u00e1nyis living all over the world as possible and to present the history of the family in an organized manner with ancestry tables and family connections.\n\n= The origin of the name =\nAs common in Hungary, the name is based on a locality name. In Hugarian an 'i' at the end means 'from', that is v\u00e1nyi means from V\u00e1ny. The settlement [[V\u00e1ny]] could be found to the south of Pest and to the north of Bugyi, that time not far from the border of counties Pest and Fej\u00e9r. The first written reference is from 1277, when it is described as deserted place.<ref name=Wenzel>\n{{cite book|\nauthor=Wenzel Guszt\u00e1v|\ntitle=\u00c1rp\u00e1d-kori \u00faj okm\u00e1nyt\u00e1r - Codex Diplomaticus Arpadianus Continuatus|\nvolume=4.|\nchapter=40.

The resettling occured after 1359 but the village has been destroyed again during the Ottoman campaign around 1541 never to build up again. Inhabitants fled to the neighbouring villages. The name survived in the name of two places, Als\u00f3v\u00e1ny (lower V\u00e1ny) and Fels\u0151v\u00e1ny (upper V\u00e1ny).\n\n= Brief history =\n{{Main|The history of the V\u00e1nyi family}}\n\nWe can follow the history of the family in two threads, between which no connection has been found yet. One of the threads starts with [[Mih\u00e1ly, falconer of the king]], Egyed, son of Tam\u00e1s and further [[settlers of V\u00e1ny]]. Their descendants moved to other villages during the Ottoman wars, and founded the V\u00e1nyi families in Veresegyh\u00e1z, V\u00e1c and other places in and around Pest county. We know that some of them moved to Nagyk\u0151r\u00f6s, and they might be the ancestors of the [[V\u00e1nyi family in Cegl\u00e9d]] as well. Unfortunately, we have no furher information on the history of this branch. However, it is important to know that Leopold I. donated nobility title and a [[V\u00e1nyi family coat of arms|family coat of arms]] to [[Istv\u00e1n V\u00e1nyi]] in Nagyk\u0151r\u00f6s.\n\nThe first person on the other branch is [[S\u00e1ndor, b\u00e1n of Sz\u00f6r\u00e9ny]], faithful servant of Stephen, junior king of Hungary. He received several donations, [[donation letter, 1268|one of those]] has been later reaffirmed by Andrew III and Louis the Great. We have no detailed information on his descendants, but in 1741 [[J\u00e1nos V\u00e1nyi]] residing in F\u00f6ldes proved that S\u00e1ndor was his ancestor and also presented the document issued by Louis the Great to Szabolcs County. We have more information on J\u00e1nos's family, he is the ancestor of the [[F\u00f6ldes V\u00e1nyi family]], whereas his unlce, [[Mih\u00e1ly V\u00e1nyi|Mih\u00e1ly]] is the founder of the [[Szatm\u00e1r V\u00e1nyi family]]. \n\nSeparately, one can also mention the immigrants. We have detailed information on [[Lajos V\u00e1nyi]], who moved from Cegl\u00e9d to Oregon and [[John Vanyi]], who moved from Porcsalma to Michigan.\n= Families =\n{{Main|V\u00e1nyi families}}\n\n= How to use this site =\n\nMost of the pages can be viewed without registration.
