Zeben Jameson
Sabinov ( la, Сibinium, hu, Kisszeben, german: Zeben, russian: Сабинов) is a small town located in the Prešov Region (north-eastern Slovakia), approximately 20 km from Prešov and 55 km from Košice. The population of Sabinov is 12,700. Etymology The name apparently comes from some shortened Slavic personal name, e.g. ''Soba'', ''Sobin'', ''Sobina'' (probably a short form of Soběslav). In Poland, there are documented personal names ''Soba'', ''Zoba'', ''Sobien'' (''Soben'' or ''Sobin''), ''Sobon'' (''Soboń'') and medieval village names ''Szebne'', ''Szobniow''. In the Czech Republic, ''Sobyn'', ''Sobień'', ''Soběn'' and medieval village names ''Sobyenow'', ''Sobíňov'', ''Soběnov''. The theory about the origin in a personal name is supported also by the common Slavic possessive suffix ''-ov'' preserved in later documents. The names ''Zob'', ''Zoba'', ''Zobas'' were used also in the Kingdom of Hungary in the 12th-13th century, but they may not be relat ...
