Hatvan
Hatvan ( German: ''Hottwan)'' is a town in Heves County, Hungary. Hatvan is the Hungarian word for "sixty". It is the county's third most populous town following Eger and Gyöngyös. Etymology Hatvan is the Hungarian word for "sixty". It is a common urban legend that the town got this name because it is 60 km from Budapest, but in fact the name is already mentioned in medieval sources, many years before the kilometre existed; also, the actual distance between the capital and the town is closer to 50 km. Rather, the town's name likely derives from the Pecheneg root word "''chatwan''" or "''chatman''", meaning "small-tribe" or "splinter-group". This is because the Turkic Pechenegs were divided into small groups when they were settled into the early Kingdom of Hungary. History The area around Hatvan has been inhabited since the Neolithic. Archeological evidence suggests that both sides of the Zagyva river were inhabited at this point. A significant settlement took shape in the ...
