Name
The name (other variations used in English include: Jagiellonians, Jagiellos, Jogailos, Jagiellas) comes from Jagiełło, the first Polish king of that dynasty. In Polish, the dynasty is known as Jagiellonowie (singular: Jagiellon, adjective, used of dynasty members, also patronymic form: Jagiellończyk, if male, and Jagiellonka, if female); in Lithuanian it is called Jogailaičiai (sing.: Jogailaitis), in Belarusian Яґайлавічы (Jagajłavičy, sing.: Яґайлавіч, Jagajłavič), in Hungarian Jagellók (sing.: Jagelló), and in Czech Jagellonci (sing.: Jagellonec; adjective: Jagellonský), as well as Jagello or Jagellon (fem. Jagellonica) in Latin. In all variations of that name (excepting in French Jagellon), the letter J should be pronounced as in "Hallelujah" (or as Y in "yes"), and G as in "get".
