The surname Csorba is spelled differently in different countries. As a Hungarian name it can be found as Corba with a mark over the C to indicate the ch sound of English. In Slovakia the church records all have Csorba. Here the CS indicates the ch sound of English. In the United states it is found as Chorba. The name is found in other East Europen countries also. Cz it seems to me would be pronounced with the soft z sound. Where have you found it as Czorba?
