Etymology

Somogyfehéregyháza ({{langx|en|Somogy white house}}) got its name after its whitewashed buildings or church during the Middle Ages. The name of Felsőzsitva consists of the Hungarian felső ({{langx|en|upper}}) and the South Slavic zsitva ({{langx|hu|gabona}}, {{langx|en|grain}}).[http://somogy.hu/publikaciok/kiraly-lajos-somogyi-helysegnevek-nepi-es.html Lajos Király : Somogyi helységnevek népi és ...]
