Novi Sad, Serbia/Serbia and Montenegro Petrovaradinski Šanac, Neoplanta, Neusatz/Neue Stadt, Újvidék The original name, referring to a massive Austrian fortress built in 1694, means ‘Petrovaradin's Entrenchment’ from šanac ‘trench’ or ‘ditch’. In 1748 it was renamed as ‘New Plantation’ or ‘Orchard’ from plantaža ‘plantation’, or, more realistically, ‘New Settlement’ as the two most recent former names, the last one Hungarian, indicate. The present name is merely a Serbian rendering of the previous names, literally ‘New Plantation’ from novi ‘new’ and sad ‘plantation’. Petrovaradin, on the south bank of the Danube, was called Cusum in Roman times.
