In Hungarian, Orosz means Russian, but also the ethnic nationality Rusyn/Ruthén(H). In documents, like the shipping manifest you find at Ellis Island, they liked to shorten place names, especially compounded names like Orosz- for O. Sometimes can create confusion because there is/was many H. place names starting with the compounded word O, meaning old or ancient.
Current name: Руські Комарівці(U) - Oroszkomoróc(H)
Place County (1913) District (1913) Current country
Oroszkomoró Ung Szerednyei Ukraine
In the 1800s and before Oroszkomoró was known as Komoróc(z), Komaróc(z), Komoróci, Komaruvci (Ung County, Ungvár District ), and also as Orosz-Komoróc(z) a Rusyn majority village, to distinguish it from the nearby Komoróc(z)-Palágy, Ung County, Kapos District.
If you ever have the luck, to search church records, which can be done only in Ukraine right now, the village only had Gr.Cath church, R.Cath. and Izr. went to church in Szerednye, H.Ref'd to Korláthelmecz(Putka-Helmecz).
