Maki's Last name means Something repeatedly said to get attention In Japanense.
Igarashi/Victor's last name means fame and Renown.



In the Japanese versions, Naruto often ends his sentences with "dattebayo," and as such has a unique style of speech. In manga and anime, characters are frequently given speech quirks (rather than pure dialect/speech variations) in order to make them sound childish, girlish, tough, cute, and the like. The "-ttebayo" suffix is used to emphasize something the speaker already said (although it doesn't have an actual meaning), primarily as an attention-getting device among children(ONLY A SECTION ON NARUTO UZUMAKI

Kudos (pronounced /ˈkjuːdɒs/, often /ˈkuːdoʊz/), from the Greek κύδος kydos (literally "that which is heard of") means "fame" and "renown" resulting from an act or achievement. Extending "kudos" to another individual is often done as a praising remark. It entered English as british university slang in the early 1800s. In Standard English, as in Greek, Kudos is a singular and not a plural noun. However, in common use, one frequently encounters dialects and idiolects in which the noun is plural: She received many kudos ['ku:doʊz] for her work.

The term became more widespread in the mid-1980's when the Kudos Granola Bar was introduced and became popular. Usage expanded again as the term entered the vocabulary of the gaming community (you can earn kudos for completing game tasks, like in the Project Gotham Racing series).

You're going to have to provide a source, because I've never heard either of those.

Makis name might be from Naruto Uzumaki

Uzumaki

Tobayyu, is Naruto's catchphrase in japanese.

No.

And no. Naruto's catch phrase "dattebayo" doesn't mean "damn" or anything like it, nor is it in any way related to Maki.
