Name is interesting. Does it mean "the city of the Serbs"? PANONIAN (talk) 16:06, 18 June 2006 (UTC)[reply]

No, it doesn't. Originally, the village called only Bogárd, and the sár means mud. There are some other places beginning with sár (Sárpentele, Sárszentmihály, Sárszentágota) around the streamlet Sárvíz (muddy-water) So the name really Sár-Bogárd, not Sárb/Serb-something. - Peppe83 17:13, 18 June 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Ok. My assumption was that name maybe came from Sarbo/Sarbi (Sarbi is Romanian name for Serbs), and gard/grad (grad is Slavic word for city), hence "the Serb city", although such Romanian-Slavic linguistic combination is not something that could be found in western Hungary, so the Sár-Bogárd root would be more likely indeed.
