Ferdinand Zvonimir von Habsburg[1] (Ferdinand Zvonimir Maria Balthus Keith Michael Otto Antal Bahnam Leonhard; born 21 June 1997 in Salzburg),[2] referred to in Austria as Ferdinand Zvonimir Habsburg-Lothringen,[1] in Hungary as Habsburg Ferdinánd Zvonimir, and by his royal name as Archduke Ferdinand Zvonimir of Austria, is the eldest son of Karl von Habsburg, now head of the House of Habsburg-Lorraine. He thus is heir apparent to the headship of the House of Habsburg and the Sovereignty of the Order of the Golden Fleece. He is the great-grandson of Emperor Charles I of Austria through his grandfather Otto von Habsburg. Ferdinand Zvonimir is a racing driver currently competing in the Formula Renault 2.0 Northern European Cup.

Family

Ferdinand was baptised on 6 September 1998 in Zagreb by Cardinal Franjo Kuharić, and was also given the traditional Croatian name Zvonimir (after King Zvonimir of Croatia from the 11th century). His godparents were his uncle Georg von Habsburg, Alois-Konstantin of Löwenstein-Wertheim-Rosenberg, Margarita Gómez-Acebo y Cejuela, and Agnes Husslein (born Countess of Arco).[3]

Ferdinand is an Austrian citizen. While his traditional titles (Imperial Prince and Archduke of Austria, Royal Prince of Hungary and Bohemia) are used abroad and by genealogical literature, they are not recognized by the Austrian government.[4] His grandfather Otto von Habsburg renounced all claims to the Austrian throne, as a necessary condition to return to Austria.

The alternative family name "von Habsburg" can be used in all states apart from Austria.
