Bač (Serbian Cyrillic: Бач, ) is a town and municipality in South Bačka District of Vojvodina, Serbia. The town has a population of 5,399, while Bač municipality has 14,405 inhabitants. The Bačka region was named after the town of Bač. ==Name== In Serbian, the town is known as ''Bač'' (Бач); in Slovak as ''Báč''; in Croatian (Šokac) as ''Bač''; in Hungarian as ''Bács''; in German as ''Batsch''; in Latin as ''Bach'' or ''Bacs''; and in Turkish as ''Baç''. Along with Serbian, Slovak and Hungarian languages are also in official use in the municipality administration. In the 9th-10th century, name of the town was ''Bagasin''.〔Prof. Dr. Miloš Blagojević, Istorijski atlas, Beograd, 1999〕 In 1154, the Arab geographer Idrisi mention it under name ''Bakasin'' and claim that "it is a famous city that was mentioned among old big cities". The current name of the town was first recorded in 1094. In 1111 the parish was mentioned as ''Bache''.〔(02BACS )〕 This name probably derived from the same personal name. In Serbian this name is written as ''Bač'' (Бач), in Hungarian as ''Bács'', and in Romanian as ''Baci'', although the Romanian population used this word as a title rather than as a name. The name is of uncertain origin and its existence was recorded among Vlachs, Slavs and Hungarians in the Middle Ages. The origin of the name could be Paleo-Balkanic,〔Milica Grković, Rečnik imena Banjskog, Dečanskog i Prizrenskog vlastelinstva u XIV veku, Beograd, 1986〕 Romanian, Slavic,〔Dr. Aleksa Ivić, Istorija Srba u Vojvodini, Novi Sad, 1929〕 or Old Turkic.〔(A Pallas Nagy Lexikona )〕 In the Romanian language, ''Baci'' means "tenant, mountaineer or chieftain of the shepherd habitation in the mountain". The name could be spread into other languages by the Vlach shepherds. However, a similar name, ''Bača'', was recorded among old Russians, which implies the possibility of Slavic origin.〔С. Б. Веселовскии, Ономастикон, древнерусские имена, прозвиша и фамилии, Москва, 1974〕 Hungarian linguists claim that a similar but originally different Hungarian personal name was derived from the Old Turkic ''baya'' dignity in the form ''Bácsa'', which later evolved into ''Bács''.〔(403 Forbidden )〕 It is not certain whether name of the town came from Vlach-Slavic or from the Hungarian name. Some Hungarian historians assume that the town was named after the first comes of the county, Bács ispán (Bač župan).〔(A Délvidék Rövid Történelme )〕 However, the existence of that person is not historically confirmed and his ethnic origin is uncertain. There are several more places with same name (in the Republic of Macedonia, Slovenia, Montenegro and Albania), as well as a large number of place names beginning with letters "bač-" or "bács-" that are scattered all over the Balkans and Central Europe, as well as in some other regions.〔(Places in World that start with Bač )〕 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Bač, Serbia」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
