Mesesan/Melka(Malka)/Papp from Bokony/Debrecen

Classification: Query
Surnames: Mesesan/Terdik/Melka(Malka)/Papp
Looking for any information about Peter Mesesan (spelled Meszesan on Elllis Island ships manifest) and Mary (Maria) Melka/Malka (father's surname) Mesesan (Meszesan) from the town of Bokony and city of Debrecen. Marys mother's madien name Erisebet (Elizabeth) Papp is listed on the Ellis Island ship manifest as closest living relative in Hungary. Bokony is near Debrecen but may be in a different county. Peter and Mary were my Grandparents and arrived in the USA in 1912 and 1913. Also would appreciate information on the origin or meaning of Mesesan surname--could be Old Magyar/Sumerian. Papp is common Old Magyar/Sumerian surname meaning priestess/priest.
