what is mean word Serbia?

I always wondered  myself\n\n\nThe etymology of the word "Serb" (root: Srb) is not known. Numerous theories exist, but none can be said to be certain or even probable:\n\n   1. Some say that the name comes from saborac, meaning "co-fighter." This could make sense but the words are too dissimilar. It is possible that saborac comes from sebar (that sebar sometimes meant "co-fighter"), which would make this theory more interesting, but there is not much basis for this claim either.\n   2. Some believe that the name is of Sarmatian/Iranian origin. From which particular word it derives is unclear. However, one theory suggests it derives from the word "Sarv" which means "cypress" tree.\n   3. Some [9] believe that the name comes from srkati, meaning "to suck in", referring to people so closely united as if they share mother's milk.\n   4. Also, others argue that all Slavs originally called themselves Serbs, and that Serbs (and Sorbs) are simply the last Slavs who retained the name. If this is true, it still fails to explain the origin of the Slavic name (most of the above may apply).\n   5. There is also theory that name Serbs derived from the Caucasian word "ser", which means "man".\n\nHowever, one thing is certain: the name is very old. It is clearly a self-identification and not a given name as its root cannot be found in western European languages.\n\nthe rest will be in Serrbian since I don't know how to translate\n\nrpski istoricar Jovan Rajic u "Istoriji Srba" (1794), iz starih izvora, izvodi poreklo Srba od Hunskih Sabira. Drugi izvori to izvode iz Srbata - Sarmata, a takodje i od reke Serbice (izmedju Eufrata i Tigra, Mesopotamija, danasnji Iraq). Neki autori ime Srba izvode iz reci Sobranie (zbor, sabor) i slicno, a neki ga prostorno vezuju za Sibiriju, jednu od nasih prapostojbina. Ceski istoricar Pavel Safarik vezuje srpsko ime za reci Sjarbin, Serb, Serbin, Sibrin, sto su sve oblici znacenja roda, naroda, a sto ima isto znacenje sa latinskom reci "gens" i "natio" ili indijskom reci Serim, sto znaci narod iste krvi. Neda Marinovic u opisu najstarijeg naroda na Balkanu iznosi da Srbin, u starodavnom indijskom jeziku, sanskritu, iz koga su potekli svi indo-evropski jezici, medju kojima i srpski, oznacava slobodnog coveka, junaka, koji se vecito bori za sopstveni opstanak. Prema ruskom istoricaru Veltmanu u delu "Atila i Rusi" ime Srbin od starine odnosilo se na vojnicki, ratnicki stalez u Rusiji, a rec Srb znacilo je vojnik, hrabar covek i navodno od Srba su postali Kozaci. I dan danas oko reke Volge rec Serbo oznacava porodicu, rod, svojtu, a kod Belorusa rec Sabr ili Sjarb znaci silu, mnozinu velikog naroda iste krvi i jezika. Kod Velikorusa rec Serbi znaci zdrav, junacan, silan soj ljudi. Kod Luzickih Srba rec Sorab ima znacenje coveka najrazboritijeg, najlepseg, najodabranijeg u tom rodu. Kod Ukrajinaca rec Sirbin znaci gospodovati. U srpskom narodu od davnina postoji pohvala pokojnika, za koga se smatralo da je bio dobar sa visokim odlicjima, koja kaze "Bas je pravi Srbin bio i srpski ziveo". A u Crnoj Gori hrabrog junaka su hvalili sa "Srb od Kosova". I u turskom jeziku reci Sirb i Serb imaju znacenje naroda jednog kolena, hrabrog, ubojitog i nepokornog. Kod starih Persijanaca rec Sarb znaci glava, staresinstvo. Kod Arabljana, Haldejaca i Jevreja rec Srb znaci slobodan covek, junak, nepokoran. I u starom sanskritskom jeziku rec Serbh znaci ne dati se nikome, a koren te reci znaci seme, koleno i rod. Safarik i Kolar su citirali, takodje, da rec Srbi oznacava rodjake, svojtu.....

First of all, the other answers to this question are completely ignorant and idiotic...\n\nSerbia is flush with rich cultural heritage and the land is diverse and gorgeous.The great variety of beautiful scenery and cultural and historical monuments, curative spas, hunting grounds and fishing areas give the basis for Serbia's tourism. \n\nThe Serbian lands were the crossroads of various civilizations in the past, with different spiritual, architectural, artistic and cultural influences. Serbian culture and its historical heritage is diverse because of mixture of various influences. Serbia is a land of natural, historic, cultural and ethnic contrasts.\n\nSerbia's mountains are its wealth and its beauty. Eastern Serbia is covered with mountains which belong to the Carpathian mountains but also to the Balkan mountain system. Here the Danube river cuts the Kazan, the longest and narrowest part of the Djerdap Gorge. Western Serbia is another mountainous region, with many picturesque canyons, forests and great natural and climatic advantages. Waters in Serbia - rivers, lakes, artificial lakes and mineral springs, represent an important natural resource for tourism. The Danube, the largest and the most important waterway in Europe flows through Serbia\n\n\nBelgrade, the capital and the "soul" of modern Serbia, is situated at the confluence of the Sava and the Danube. In the course of its long history it has been captured 60 times, and raised to the ground at least 38 times; however every time it got leveled to the ground the city had arisen from its ashes, like phoenix- which is a legend connected to the city. Today, it is a modern city of about 2 million inhabitants. To visitors Belgrade offers its rich programm of cultural, artistic and sports events, many museums and historic monuments. With the Sava Congress Center and numerous hotels, Belgrade has become one of the major congress and convention centres in Europe.\n\nDon't let bad public relations and American BIAS and PROPAGANDA deter you from visiting beautiful Serbia. Go and enjoy yourself!

The Kingdom of Serbs, Croats, and Slovenes was formed in 1918; its name was changed to Yugoslavia in 1929. Occupation by Nazi Germany in 1941 was resisted by various paramilitary bands that fought each other as well as the invaders. The group headed by Josip TITO took full control of Yugoslavia upon German expulsion in 1945. Although Communist, his new government and its successors (he died in 1980) managed to steer their own path between the Warsaw Pact nations and the West for the next four and a half decades. In the early 1990s, post-TITO Yugoslavia began to unravel along ethnic lines: Slovenia, Croatia, Macedonia, and Bosnia and Herzegovina were recognized as independent states in 1992. The remaining republics of Serbia and Montenegro declared a new "Federal Republic of Yugoslavia" (FRY) in April 1992 and, under President Slobodan MILOSEVIC, Serbia led various military intervention efforts to unite ethnic Serbs in neighboring republics into a "Greater Serbia." These actions led to Yugoslavia being ousted from the UN in 1992, but Serbia continued its campaign until signing the Dayton Peace Accords in 1995. In 1998-99, massive expulsions by FRY forces and Serb paramilitaries of ethnic Albanians living in Kosovo provoked an international response, including the NATO bombing of Belgrade and the stationing of a NATO-led force (KFOR), in Kosovo. Federal elections in the fall of 2000, brought about the ouster of MILOSEVIC and installed Vojislav KOSTUNICA as president. The arrest of MILOSEVIC in 2001 allowed for his subsequent transfer to the International Criminal Tribunal for the Former Yugoslavia in The Hague to be tried for crimes against humanity. In 2001, the country's suspension from the UN was lifted, and it was once more accepted into UN organizations under the name of the Federal Republic of Yugoslavia. Kosovo has been governed by the UN Interim Administration Mission in Kosovo (UNMIK) since June 1999, under the authority of UN Security Council Resolution 1244, pending a determination by the international community of its future status. In 2002, the Serbian and Montenegrin components of Yugoslavia began negotiations to forge a looser relationship. In February 2003 lawmakers restructured the country into a loose federation of two republics called Serbia and Montenegro. The Constitutional Charter of Serbia and Montenegro includes a provision that allows either republic to hold a referendum after three years that would allow for their independence from the state union. In 2003 Svetozar MAROVIC was elected president of Serbia and Montenegro. \n\n### LINKS : -\n\nhttp://www.cia.gov/cia/publications/factbook/geos/yi.html\n\nhttp://www.answers.com/topic/serbia-and-montenegro\n\nhttp://www.infoplease.com/ipa/A0108157.html

A state of open, armed, often prolonged conflict carried on between nations, states, or parties. \nThe period of such conflict. \nThe techniques and procedures of war; military science. \nIn an active state of conflict or contention.\n\n\n--------------------------------------------------------------------------------\n[Middle English warre, from Old North French werre, of Germanic origin. See wers- in Indo-European Roots.] \nWord History: The chaos of war is reflected in the semantic history of the word war. War can be traced back to the Indo-European root *wers-, “to confuse, mix up.” In the Germanic family of the Indo-European languages, this root gave rise to several words having to do with confusion or mixture of various kinds. One was the noun *werza-, “confusion,” which in a later form *werra- was borrowed into Old French, probably from Frankish, a largely unrecorded Germanic language that contributed about 200 words to the vocabulary of Old French. From the Germanic stem came both the form werre in Old North French, the form borrowed into English in the 12th century, and guerre (the source of guerrilla) in the rest of the Old French-speaking area. Both forms meant “war.” Meanwhile another form derived from the same Indo-European root had developed into a word denoting a more benign kind of mixture, Old High German wurst, meaning “sausage.” Modern German Wurst was borrowed into English in the 19th century, first by itself (recorded in 1855) and then as part of the word liverwurst (1869), the liver being a translation of German Leber in Leberwurst.

Yes, a short and lovely name.  And there is plenty of information on the internet on it.\n\nNiš or Nish (Serbian: Ниш or Niš, Latin: Naissus, Romanian: Niş) is a city in Serbia and Montenegro (formerly Yugoslavia), 43.3° N 21.9° E, on the river Nišava.
