Szolnok (Zounuk) was the name of a gens (Latin for "clan"; nemzetség in Hungarian) in the Kingdom of Hungary. The founder of the clan was the 11th-century royal official Szolnok, about whom Szolnok County, becoming its first ispán, was named. Beside that region, his descendants acquired lands Nógrád, Fejér and Baranya counties too.
