Pușcaș

Pușcaș (Also spelled Puskas in some contexts)

The term "Pușcaș" is primarily a Romanian surname. It is most famously associated with:

• Ferenc Puskás (born Ferenc Purczeld Bíró): A Hungarian footballer, widely regarded as one of the greatest of all time. Though not Romanian himself, the spelling of his adopted Hungarian surname, Puskás, is nearly identical to the Romanian surname, leading to occasional association.

Beyond its most prominent association with the Hungarian footballer, the surname Pușcaș is found among individuals and families of Romanian descent, particularly in Romania. It does not have a specific, widely recognized meaning beyond its function as a family name. The origin of the name is potentially linked to professions or characteristics, though definitive etymological information is not readily available. Further research into Romanian genealogy and onomastics would be required for a more conclusive explanation.
