Szombathely: Hungary

Szombathely: Hungary

Szombathely (Latin Savaria/Sabaria, German Steinamanger) is a city in Hungary. It is the administrative center of the Vas county in the west of the country, located near the border with Austria. Szombathely lies by the streams Perint and Gyngys, where the Alpokalja mountains meet the Small Hungarian Plain. The name Szombathely is from Hungarian szombat, “Saturday” and hely, “place”, referring to the fact that markets were held on Saturday every week.

The German name Steinamanger means “stones on a field”, and it refers to the ruins of the Roman city Savaria.

The Latin name Savaria or Sabaria comes from Sibaris, the Latin name for the stream Gyngys. The root of the word is the Indo-European word seu, meaning “wet”. The Austrian reach of the stream is still called Zbern, a variation of its Latin name.
