“Pavol Országh Hviezdoslav (2 February 1849 - 8 November 1921) was a Slovak poet, dramatist, translator, and for a short time, member of the Czechoslovak parliament. Originally, he wrote in a traditional style, but later became influenced by parnassism and modernism. He was born as Pavel Országh. His family name is Hungarian (from ország, meaning ‘country’). Hviezdoslav (a Slavic name, meaning approximately ‘celebrating the stars’ and/or ‘Slav of the stars’) was his pseudonym from 1875.[1] His earlier pseudonym was Jozef Zbranský.” (Pavol Országh Hviezdoslav, Wikipedia)
