More ancestory stuff

Ok another ancestory question for those in Europe and parts east. Does anyone have 'local' knowledge of the origins of the surname Zanto? Particularly 'Gustav Zanto' Working on my mom's side now :)

Sounds like a Hungarian name to me (I knew a guy with the surname of Zanto, and he was an immigrant from Hungary, but I'm not 100% sure on this).

I'd say it's of German origin given the first name and the fact that this says so:
