Ormož (pronounced [ˈoːɾmɔʃ] ⓘ; in older sources Ormuš,[2] Hungarian: Ormosd, German: Friedau, Prekmurje Slovene: Ormošd[citation needed]) is a town in the traditional region of Prlekija, part of Styria, in northeastern Slovenia.

[3] Ormož was attested in written records in 1273 as Holermůs (and as Holrmues in 1299 and Holrmůs in 1320).

The name is based on the Latinized name Alramus, borrowed from Germanic Alram (< *Aþala-hraban, literally 'noble ravan').

The person designated by the name is uncertain, but a possible namesake is Salzburg Bishop A(da)lram (reigned 821–836) because the Ormož area became the property of the Archbishopric of Salzburg in the ninth century.

[6] Lake Ormož, a reservoir on the Drava River, is located just outside the town.
