Detailed Slovak etymology analysis
Žolt zodpovedá výslovnosti maďarského mena Zsolt, variantu starého osobného mena Solt. Odborná encyklopédia ho pravdepodobne odvodzuje zo starotureckého sultan, soltan s významom „vládca, knieža“ a spája s menom Zoltán. Maďarské východisko je doložené, hlbšia etymológia však nie je uvedená ako istá; preto status unknown.
