Dunajská Streda (Slovak pronunciation: (listen); Hungarian: Dunaszerdahely; German: Niedermarkt; Hebrew: דונהסרדהיי) is a town located in southern Slovakia (Trnavský kraj). Dunajská Streda is the most culturally significant town in the Žitný ostrov area. The town has a population of 22,730, with ethnic Hungarians forming the 72% majority. The name of Syridahel was first mentioned in 1256. Other early written forms of the name were Zeredahely (1270) and Zredahel (1358). Szerdahely means "Wednesday (market)place" in Hungarian and it indicates the town had the privilege to hold a market on Wednesdays (although it was later changed to Fridays). (The Hungarian word szerda is a loanword from Slavic languages; the word streda means Wednesday in Slovak, with related words existing in other Slavic languages, meaning the middle (stred) day in the week. The attribute Duna- (Dunajská; i.e. Danubian) was added in the 19th century to distinguish it from other towns with similar names (in accordance with the "one town, one name" policy of Austria-Hungary). The German name Niedermarkt means "Lower Market". More information...
