Where does my last name possible come from? its- MACZ?

Question:www.familysearch.org has listings for it in Guatemala, Poland, Hungary, Austria, Germany, and the US ( Illinois, and Ohio). Spelling variations include Mc Z (with another name. The one I noticed was MC Z BOYD), MAAS, MAASS, MAES,
MASSE , MASZ, MAASZ , MAESS, MASS, MAHS, MAS, & MAESSE.
The earliest date I saw with one of the variations was this:
Agnes Maes - International Genealogical Index
Gender: Female Birth: 1559 Koeln Stadt, Rheinland, Preussen .

Maas is Dutch and North German: from a short form of Thomas.
Masse is English: variant of Mace.; Dutch: from Middle Dutch "masse" ‘"clog"’; ‘"cudgel"’, perhaps a metonymic occupational name for someone who wielded a club.

It's probably Czech. Hence the similar lettering. Could be Polish or Slovak, or possibly Hungarian. Some place in that region.

If this is your ancestor from the 1920 census, his place of birth was Poland (under other juridiction, but what we now know as Poland)
