there are many alternative spellings but I think this is the pronunciation. It is also a family name.
Could be atype of dance or sword maker maybe?

Kard is 'sword, iron, steel, brand'. The -as suffix is an old form of the modern -os suffix which changes this noun into an adjective meaning 'sworded', namely 'having a sword'. In modern Hungarian kardos is metaphorically extended to mean 'energetic, resolute'. (In Hungarian, 's' is pronounced like English 'sh'.)
It is NOT Turkish. It is good Hungarian.

I think it has been borrowed from Turkish language. That means brother in Turkish.
good luck
