Subotica

Concise Dictionary of World Place-Names | 2005 | | Copyright

Subotica, Serbia/Serbia and Montenegro Castrum Szabatka, Sent Maria, Maria Tereziopolis, Szabadka Founded in the 15th century as a Hungarian fortress, its name was changed to St Mary and then in 1779 to the ‘City of Maria Theresa’ in honour of Maria Theresa†. In 1845 the name was changed to Subotica from the Serbo‐Croat subota ‘Saturday’ which indicated the weekly market on this day; the Hungarian version of the name, Szabadka (which does not mean ‘Saturday’) was adopted at the same time, a throwback to the original name.
