in this case wikipedia/wiktionary really is friend: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Servus https://en.wiktionary.org/wiki/servus + duden: https://www.duden.de/rechtschreibung/servus (usage: besonders bayrisch, österreichisch)

"Hello, what is your name?" another correct solution: Jó napot, hogy hívják?
but isn't it more formal? (i mean more than hello indicates in english?)
For the formal you (ön, maga) we use third person conjugation - it is treated as third person grammatically
And if the object of a sentence is ő / ön /maga/ ők /önök /maguk, use the definite conjugation.
Hogy hívnak (téged)? - How do they call you? (informal singular)
Hogy hívják (őt)? - How do they call him/her?
Hogy hívják (önt)? - How do they call you? (formal singular)
