→← Kladovo (Serbian Cyrillic: Кладово, ) is a town and municipality in the Bor District of eastern Serbia. It is situated on the right bank of the Danube river. The population of the Kladovo town is 8,913, while the population of the Kladovo municipality with surrounding settlements is 20,635 (2011 census). == Name == In Serbian, the town is known as ''Kladovo'' (Кладово), in Vlachas ''Claudia'', in German as ''Kladowo'' or ''Kladovo'' and in Latin and Romanised Greek as ''Zanes''. In the time of the Roman Empire, the name of the town was ''Zanes'' while the fortifications was known as ''Diana'' and ''Pontes'' (from Greek "sea" -''pontos'', or Roman "bridge" - ''pontem''). Emperor Trajan had a number of fortications constructed in the area during the Roman times, such as the well-known Trajan's Bridge (Pontes was built on the Serbian side, Theodora was built on the Romanian side). Later, Slavs founded a settlement that was named ''Novi Grad'' (Нови Град), while Ottomans built a fortress here and called it ''Fethülislam''. The present-day name of Kladovo is first recorded in 1596 in an Austrian military document. There are several theories about the origin of the current name of the town: () * According to one theory (Ranka Kuic), name of the town derived from Celtic word "kladiff" meaning "cemetery" in English. * According to another theory (Ranko Jakovljevic), the name derived from the word "klad" (a device used to hold a person shackled). * A third theory has it that the name derives from the Slavic word "kladenac" meaning "a well" in English or from the Slavic word "klada" meaning "(tree) stump". * There is also a theory that the name goes back to the Bulgarian duke Glad, who ruled over this region in the 9th century. There is a settlement with the same name in Russia near Moscow and it is believed that this settlement was founded by Serbs who moved there from Serbian Kladovo in the 18th century. One of the suburbs of Berlin also has this name, which originates from the Slavic Lusatian Serbs (Sorbs) who live in eastern Germany. The name is also found in the Arad and Timiș counties of Romania, Cladova, in Arad county Cladova, Arad, Cladova in Timiș county Cladova, Timiș 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「Kladovo」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
