Svetozar Miletić (Serbian: "Светозар Милетић", Hungarian: "Nemesmilitics", Croatian also known under its old name: "Lemeš") is a village in Bačka region in the Autonomous Province of Vojvodina, Serbia. It is situated in the Sombor municipality, in the West Bačka District. The village is ethnically mixed and its population numbering 3,169 people (2002 census).

Name

The village was named after Svetozar Miletić, a political leader of Serbs in Vojvodina from second half of 19th century.

In Serbian, the village is known as "Svetozar Miletić" (Светозар Милетић), in Croatian as "Lemeš", in German as "Berauersheim", and in Hungarian as "Nemesmillitics". Before 1925, in Serbian the name "Lemeš" was used for the village.

The origin of the villagename in Hungarian and Croatian comes from the Hungarian word "nemes" ("a noble"), while for the word "militics" it is believed that it comes from Latin "militis" ("a soldier"). Local Croats of Bunjevci group have shortened and transformed the name "Nemesmilitics" into "Lemeš", and later Slavic settlers accepted that name.
When new ruler came, Kingdom of Serbs, Croats and Slovenes, ruled by Serbs, the villagename was changed. In 1925, it was changed into "Svetozar Miletić", after the Serb political leader.
