What is the name of a Hungarian crêpe-like pancake?

A Hungarian crêpe-like pancake is called palacsinta. It is a thin pancake made from a simple batter of eggs, wheat flour, milk or soda water, and often a little salt or sugar.

Palacsinta belongs to a wider family of thin pancakes found across Central and Eastern Europe. Related names include palačinka in several Slavic languages and palatschinken in Austria. The name ultimately traces through Romanian and Latin forms to Greek plakous, words associated with cakes or flatbreads.

Hungarian palacsinta may be sweet or savory. Common sweet fillings include apricot jam, ground walnuts, cottage cheese, cocoa, or poppy seeds. The famous Gundel palacsinta combines walnuts, raisins, candied orange peel, cinnamon, and rum, then is served with chocolate sauce. A savory meat-filled version, Hortobágyi palacsinta, is a main dish rather than a dessert.
