The Village of
Brestowatz
is named for
the
ELM TREE
Many other villages are named
Brestowatz
as with most
any tree name
Knowing the following
root words will help you understand the origin of the
different village names
The word
brest
means elm
and is Slavic in origin.
vác is probably also Slavic, meaning marshy
pasture, and the basis for the Serbian name Brestovac
In Hungarian,
the elm is called
szil(fa), and the marshy pasture
is known as a berek, hence the Hungarian village
name,
Szilberek
In German,
Ulmenau is the literal translation of the Slavic,
Brestovac and the Hungarian, Szilberek. It was only
used by the German settlers until the 1930's and was not
an official name.
Another
village in the Banat also called Brestowatz is often
confused with our Batschka village -- it is sometimes
referred to as Banatski Brestowatz
