To be honest I can't pin this name down at all. I'm not sure if it's Slavic, Hungarian or something else. It does remind me of the name of the great Hungarian patriot, Lajos Kossuth - same ending. But Kossuth was of Slovak ancestry and his name was really Slovakian, Košút.
I thought at first that it might have an Easter connection, like Paschal and lots of other names beginning with Pas, but I don't think it's likely now I've checked in Hungarian and Slovak dictionaries.
