What does the surname "CSAPO" mean? It is hungarian, Plz help!?

It's an occupation, basically equivalent to English "Fuller", "Tucker", or "Walker": a person who makes wool cloth into felt by beating it or walking on it or some similar form of torture. The Hungarian word is based on a verb meaning 'to hit or slap'.
