László is one of the most frequent Hungarian given names. Can be a family name as well. The acute accents indicate longer vowels. s and z together denote a single sound similar to English s, as in "dislike". The pronounciation is thus something like /Laasloo/, but it's ok to pronounce it shorter. Lazlo is a common misspelling. The name derives from the slavic "Ladislav" present in various forms in all slavic languages. Here is a short list of famous bearers of the name. Saint Ladislaus (1040-1095) was an early king of Hungary.

Kozma is a relatively common family name as well. Besides Hungarian it appears in different spellings in many slavic languages and in Romanian as well. Saint Kozma and Damyan were considered healing saints throughout the Balkans. A village in eastern Transylvania bears this name as "Csík-kozmás".

The name would normally be written family name first, according to eastern name order.

Some people with this name (unrelated to me):
