Thanks so much for all your effort! That is very interesting and I agree, there may be a German origin.

Thats very interesting. Is the Haifa in or near Hungary?

No, Haifa's in Israel. :-)
I found a Slovakian Pašút by googling it, but it probably isn't very common, because I got only three results. Anyway, since it all seems to revolve more or less around Slovakia and Hungary, I suppose you can forget the idea of Old English ending... it's a completely different language.
One of the things I found, though, is some list of surname endings and according to how the other Slovakian surnames ending this way look, it's probably derived from a first name. Like Pavol, maybe.
