Kamendin from the Middle Ages to Habsburg Rule

Kamendin most likely took its name from the well-known medieval Hungarian Kemendi family, which held estates near present-day Novi Sad throughout the fourteenth century. However, in earlier times, Serbs also used the word kamendin to describe a place where livestock grazed. These different interpretations suggest the need for a more thorough study of place names, particularly in present-day Vojvodina. The name Kamendin also occurs south of the Sava and Danube rivers, including the area around Belgrade.
