Greetings from the Academy of Saint Gabriel!
You asked us about the use of the name <Tiszata> as a period Hungarian feminine name.
We could not find the name <Tiszata> as a feminine name in either modern or period sources [1,2]. There is evidence of the name <Tisza>, but this is a masculine name.
However, to provide some ideas, we have put together a list of 16th-century Hungarian women's names. The first group of names are the common names, with the most popular names first; the second list are less common names. Names in parantheses are variant forms. In all of these, a slash indicates an accent and a colon indicates an umlaut (for example, "y:" is a "y" with an umlaut--two dots--over it).
There are very few records of women's names before this time. The only 15th-century women's names we found recorded are Anna, Barbara, Katherina, and Margaretha.
We hope this has been helpful, and that we can continue to assist you.
In service,
--Walraven van Nijmegen
