Theodor Herzl (2 May 1860 in Pest, Kingdom of Hungary – 3 May 1904 in Edlach, Austria) was born into an Ashkenazi Jewish family in Pest, Hungary. Some Sephardic ancestry has been suggested but has not been documented. The family later moved to Vienna, Austria, after the death of his sister Pauline.

Herzl married Julie Naschauer, the 21-year-old daughter of a wealthy Jewish businessman in Vienna on 25 June 1889. The marriage resulted in the birth of two girls and one boy, Hans Herzl.
