Legendary psychologist Mihaly Csikszentmihalyi dies at 87

It can sometimes help to know what the name means.

From what I can see, Csikszentmihalyi is a Hungarian locative surname, that is, it’s a family name taken from a place. And that place is Czik-szent-Mihalyi, the town of Saint-Michael, in the county of Csik in what was once the Kingdom of Hungary, now Mihăileni in Romania.
