User-submitted Reference

In most Slavic languages, Laska (Polish, Czech, Bulgarian etc.) means 'caress'. In Russian it means a weasel. It is rumored, however, it derives from the popular Hungarian surname, László, with the suffixes -ov and -ova, which is a typical Bulgarian/ Russian last name prefix, hence explains the popularity of this name in those countries.
