Komárom (Slovak: Komárno, Croatian: Komoran, German: Komorn, Serbian: Komoran or Коморан) is a city in Hungary on the right bank of the Danube in Komárom-Esztergom county. Its name is derived from komar, a Slovak word meaning "mosquito".
The city of Komárom was formerly a separate suburban village called Újszőny. It was unified with the historical city of Komárom on the left bank of the Danube only in 1896. The city center was cut by the newly created border of Czechoslovakia in 1918 (the Czechoslovak part - now Slovak part - holds the name Komárno), and the development of the southern part only really began at that time.
