Zsigmond Móricz was born in Tiszacsécse in 1879 to Bálint Móricz and Erzsébet Pallagi. On his mother's side, he came from an impoverished but ancient noble family while his father was the descendant of serfs. He studied at Debreceni Református Kollégium (1891–1893), Sárospataki Kollégium (1894–1896), and in Kisújszállás (1896–1898). In 1899, he enrolled at Debreceni Református Kollégium to study theology, but transferred into law after only six months.
