Nemenikuće
Nemenikuće ( sr-cyrl, Неменикуће) is a village in the Sopot City municipality, in the suburban area of Belgrade, Serbia. It had a population of 1,992 by the 2011 census. It is located on the slopes of the Kosmaj mountain. Name The origin of the unusual name is not known for sure and none of the theories can be confirmed through historiography. Couple of theories revolve around the anecdotal historical events in which the phrase ''nema ni kuće'' ("here isnot a inglehouse) was uttered. Another possibility is the Celtic-Serbian coinage from ''nemen'', Celtic for glade (geography), and ''kuća'', Serbian for house. The name is also grammatically problematic. Even the inhabitants are not sure whether to treat it as a singular or plural, or what is the proper declension of the name in grammatical cases, so they use various versions. History First written records of the village date from the first half of the 18th century. In 1732 it was said that it had 16 house ...
