Here you can find the list of the counties, few of them starts with S, ends with n: http://lazarus.elte.hu/hun/maps/1910/vmlista.htm

Based on cursory reading the above lists, I would guess, that he was from the E-SE, Transylvania area of Hungary, today part of Romania.
Is any other surname in the family from A-H, or what lang?uage they spoke, where did you found the Russian POW list?
