Talk:Sárbogárd

Name is interesting. Does it mean "the city of the Serbs"? PANONIAN  (talk)  16:06, 18 June 2006 (UTC)

No, it doesn't. Originally, the village called only Bogárd, and the sár means mud. There are some other places beginning with sár (Sárpentele, Sárszentmihály, Sárszentágota) around the streamlet Sárvíz (muddy-water) So the name really Sár-Bogárd, not Sárb/Serb-something. - Peppe83 17:13, 18 June 2006 (UTC)


 * Ok. My assumption was that name maybe came from Sarbo/Sarbi (Sarbi is Romanian name for Serbs), and gard/grad (grad is Slavic word for city), hence "the Serb city", although such Romanian-Slavic linguistic combination is not something that could be found in western Hungary, so the Sár-Bogárd root would be more likely indeed.
