Gemer (German: (rare) Gömer, Gemer; Hungarian: Sajógömör) is a village and municipality in Revúca District in the Banská Bystrica Region of Slovakia. János Melich associated Gemer with the Kyrgyz personal name Kemirbaj and old Turkish place name Kömürtag. This theory was adopted also by Lájos Kiss who explains the name from old Turkic kömür: coal. Important Bronze Age finds have been made in the village. In historical records, the village was first mentioned in 1198 as Gomur (1216 Gumur, 1289 Gemer) as a settlement below the much older Gemer Castle (which was originally a Slavic fortified settlement). The castle was the capital of Gemer and control point of all the ways for Spiš County. More information...
