Name

The name means "white monastery" in Croatian and primarily in Serbian (its name "Beli" as opposed to standard Croatian "Bijeli" reflects the local speech of the Slavic-language population rather than adhering to specific Croatian or Serbian guidelines). This name was introduced in 1923 during the Kingdom of Serbs, Croats and Slovenes, and before this it was known as Monoštor in Croatian and Serbian and Pélmonostor in Hungarian. Other names used for the town in history were: Pél, Bell, and Monostor. All names are connected with monasteries that existed in history at this location. First monastery was built in the 9th century during the rule of Slavic duke Kocelj. Monastery was later razed, and the only thing that left from it was pil (obelisk in English), hence the later Hungarian name Pél, which was a version of this Slavic word. Serbian (српски језик; srpski jezik) is one of the standard versions of the Shtokavian dialect, used primarily in Serbia, Bosnia and Herzegovina, Montenegro, Croatia, and by Serbs in the Serbian diaspora. ...
