Zamárdi

Etymology

• According to one theory the village was called before the Mongol invasion Kis Szent Mártir which later changed to Zamárdi. However there is no proof for that.
• The older part of the village is on the hill, so the residents brought water on the back of donkeys. Therefore the village was called Szamárd after szamár and -d suffix.
• The most accepted theory states that the name derives from a person name Zamar or Somar. He could be the first owner of the village.
