In german, Bratislava is called Pressburg ("press-castle"). So is it
Bratis = press
Lava = Castle
??

no way. "Lava" means "Lava" in our language
Bratislava is a word that means nothing. It's just a name and "Pressburg" is an old German name for it, just like "Poszony" is the Hungarian name for it.
It used to be a tri-language city, with many austrians and hungarians living in it.
The slovak word for "castle" is "hrad".
