Zsipaly is not an original Hungarian name. ZS is used in the Hungarian
language, the sound is like "J" in the French name Jaque, LY is used too,
instead of "j",
the sound is like "Y" in Yes. I never heard the name Zsipaly in Hungary,
unless it was used in NE Hungary and originated from Poland, Ukrain, maybe
Russia.
