Kéthely
Kéthely () is a village in Somogy County, Hungary. The settlement is part of the Balatonboglár wine region. Etymology According to local legends the settlement got its name when the two villages ''Magyari'' and ''Sári'' united. But it is absolutely false because it was first mentioned between 1332 and 1337 as ''Kedhely'' (). It could be one of those settlements which got their name after their weekly markets (e.g. Szombathely, Szerdahely (other), Szerdahely). History According to ''László Szita'' the settlement was completely Hungarian in the 18th century.

A list may be memorialized in any number of ways, including existing only in the mind of the list-maker, but lists are frequently written down on paper, or maintained electronically.
