'Place Of Birth: Unravelled'

Szardos sounds very Hungarian,
Hungary and a few other countrys are known for gypsies.
(I should know,
I'm half Hungarian.
=D)
So thats where she might have been born.

If what little I could find on the subject is worth anything, Szardos is indeed Hungarian.

We never did discover a back story for Margali Szardos but I think I've finally determined Claremont's real intent (which thankfully wipes out my previous theory of Magda becoming Mystique which I was never comfortable with:). Her names are telling to what Claremont may have intended though.

Claremont undoubtedly took the name Margali from Marion Zimmer Bradley's books The Shattered Chain & Thendara House, where one of the main characters is named Margali, just like he had taken the name "Sharra".

I'll get back to the significance of this further down, but first...

As for Szardos, the only etymological connection to this name comes from the 1974 science fantasy film, Zardoz, named after the eponymous god head that is revealed to mean "Wizard of Oz" due to it being a skilful manipulator rather than an actual deity.

I'd therefore suggest Claremont used this as a surname for Margali to imply she was masking her true identity.

Now back to the significance of the name Margali.

In the abovementioned The Shattered Chain, Margali is a derivative of Magdalen, with the book's character Magda Lorne also being referred to as Margali n'ha Ysabet (the Darkovan name from her mother).

So does this suggest Margali was the name Magda, Magneto's wife, took to ensure he never found her?

Did she go back to Germany... but the main thing is to have her somewhere where Magnus would not find her. He searched very intently for a few years at least, before eventually giving up and assuming she was dead. Did she keep a low profile by joining a travelling circus, since she wouldn't stay in one place for long?
