ArchivesRe: the meaning of surname PUSKAS
in reply to a message by Sean Foglai
The pronunciation of Puskas is Pushkash, where the 'u' sounds like in the English bull, and 'a' sounds like the second 'a' in the English word alpha, just a longer sound.
The meaning of the word Puskas is gunner, or rifleman. (Puska = rifle, gun. https://dictzone.com/english-hungarian-dictionary/puska)
His original name (Purczeld) is German, I have no idea what that means. His father changed Purczeld to Puskas - quite adequately - in 1937.
