Born as Jenő Ábrahám (Hungarian: Ábrahám Jenő), while playing in Yugoslavia, and in the national team, he was recorded in the chronicles as "Saraz", a Serbo-Croatian transliteration of the Hungarian word "Száraz", which means "Dry" in Hungarian, a name he received probably because of his looks. Many websites confuse Jenő Ábrahám with Eugen "Geza" Ábrahám. The two played in FK Vojvodina in same time, and usually the first was recorded as Saraz I and the second as Saraz II. Many football-specialized internet websites merged the two and erroneously named the player described in this article as Geza Abraham Sarasz.
