Many registers in Slovakia were recorded in Hungarian, and there were specific rules for how to convert Slovak names into Hungarian spelling (common names were just translated):
'''c''' → '''cz''' (ex. Cilka = Czilka)
'''č''' → '''cs''' (ex. Čistko = Csistko)
'''ď''' → '''gy''' (ex. Ďuro = Gyuro)
'''ľ''' → '''ly''' (ex. Ľubomir = Lyubomir)
'''ň''' → '''ny''' (Fraňo = Franyo)
'''s''' → '''sz''' (Jaroslav = Jaroszlav)
'''š''' → '''s''' (Šimko = Simko)
'''ț''' → '''ty''' (Šțastko = Styastko)
'''ž''' → '''zs''' (Boženka = Bozsenka)
