Tóth
Tóth (sometimes Toth) can mean "Slovak", since one of the Hungarian names for Slovakia the northern part of Hungary was Tothorszag.
Tót has also been a more general Slavic reference, per toponyms like Tótszerdahely and Tótszentmárton on the southern border of Hungary.[1]
The surname Toth is also a less common German surname (Tod), which is a variation of the German word for 'death'.
