    Essentially have my last name but we left haceks out so it is spelled.the same but with out slovak orthography. My moms family even kept the hungarianized spelling of their slovak last name when they came to the u.s. I think they thought it was more prestigious like that.

    Absolutely! Not NEARLY as important.

    You can blame the Germans for doing that to my surname.
