Dear SSEELANGers

does anyone know whether there is a slavic origin of the name "Tosca"
(beside of the italian origine of the name "Tosca", which means "Woman from
the Toscana").

I stepped across it not long ago and was reassured that it couldnĀ“t be
italian in that case (and not at all from Rossini opera), and that it
probably has slavic roots.

Thanks for your help

Michael
