There is a surname, Passoth, which appears to be German. There are an estimated 200 people of that name in Germany, and something like 30 named Passuth. Of course the presence of both names could be a result of immigration, but there's also the possibility of a German origin for Passuth. Still no indication of meaning.
A lot of Hungarians had German surnames once, some still do. Same for the Czechs, though I'm not so sure about the Slovaks.
