Sabinov
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 rel ...

Sister City
A sister city or a twin town relationship is a form of legal or social agreement between two geographically and politically distinct localities for the purpose of promoting cultural and commercial ties. While there are early examples of international links between municipalities akin to what are known as sister cities or twin towns today dating back to the 9th century, the modern concept was first established and adopted worldwide during World War II. Origins of the modern concept The modern concept of town twinning has its roots in the Second World War. More specifically, it was inspired by the bombing of Coventry on 14 November 1940, known as the Coventry Blitz. First conceived by the then Mayor of Coventry, Alfred Robert Grindlay, culminating in his renowned telegram to the people of Stalingrad (now Volgograd) in 1942, the idea emerged as a way of establishing solidarity links between cities in allied countries that went through similar devastating events.
