Bantus
Bantus is an exceptionally rare historical male name associated with a saint from Trier, Germany, documented in the 7th century. In Slovak, it sounds foreign and archaic, and its etymology remains unexplained. Therefore, it cannot be reliably translated as "person" or "people" solely based on an accidental similarity to the word bantu.
