Sándor Terplán

Sándor Terplán (Slovene: Aleksander Terplan or Trpljan) (c. May 1, 1816 – March 18, 1858) was a Hungarian Lutheran priest and writer.

Terplán was born in the Ivanovci in the Prekmurje region in the Kingdom of Hungary, into a Hungarian Slovene Lutheran family.

Several priests were born in his village, both Catholic and Lutheran, including littérateurs or gentilitial politicians, such as József Borovnják and Ferenc Ivanóczy.

Terplán's father Iván Terplan was a tailor and wine-merchant and estate manager of Baron Szaller in Ivanovci.

He was in contact with the murian littérateurs, such as János Kardos and Rudolf Czipott (he also celebrated the funeral mass of the latter).
