Porsche = Borislav?
A long time ago I came across a print article speculating that the "Porsche" as a name is a Germanicized version of the Czech/slavic "Borislav." Every now and then I've tried to find any reference to this, to no avail, other than what follows. I couldn't get the original and English translation links to work here, but if you do a Google search by pasting in the term below, do a "Translate this page" on the first result, you may find definition 2 intriguing.
