Beltinci

Beltinci (pronounced [ˈbeːltintsi]; Prekmurje Slovene: Böltinci,[2] Hungarian: Belatinc[3] or Belatincz,[4] German: (Alt)Fellsdorf[5]) is a town in the Prekmurje region of northeastern Slovenia.

Črnec Creek, a tributary of the Ledava, flows through the settlement.

The name is originally a plural demonym derived from the Slavic personal name *Běletinъ—from the nickname *Bělъ(jъ) 'white', applied to people with fair skin or hair—thus meaning 'residents of Běletinъ's village'.

On April 26, 1944, all of the Jews of the town were deported to the Auschwitz extermination camp, from which none of them returned.

[8] The parish church in the settlement is dedicated to Saint Ladislaus and belongs to the Roman Catholic Diocese of Murska Sobota.
