Kathleen,
I'd be intertested in knowing where you got the names. I'm not a Slovak speaker but I have delt with Slovak records and the names you posted seem rather odd.
For instance, "Evor" and "Amalior" can't be correct. ALL christian names for Slovak women MUST end in the letter "a".
On many documents from before 1920 names are rendered according to the Hungarian alphabet so there are several versions of a person's name but both versions are,usually,similar.
In the Hungarian version women's names don't always end in "a" but the similatity is obvious. "Alz'beta" (Elizabeth) is "Erzabet".
The last name "Chumrciork" is a tongue twister even in Slovak. It could be accurate but it is very odd.
You can help your search if you can get a document that accurately portrays a correct spelling. If you can find any of these folks on an Ellis Island manifest you have a good chance of getting an accurate old country name.
