Etymology

According to Ptolemy, the settlement was called Pession in antiquity, with the official Roman name being Contra-Aquincum (see Aquincum for Roman town across the Danube in what became Óbuda). Alternatively, the name Pest may have come from a Slavic word meaning "furnace", "oven" (Bulgarian ??? ; Serbian ???/pec; Croatian pec), related
