Руски Керестур

Originally Керестур (Kerestur) (and still thus referred to colloquially), borrowed from Hungarian Keresztúr (literally “cross master; cross Lord”), from kereszt + úr.

руски (ruski, “Rusyn”) later prepended to differentiate from the ethnic-Serbian-majority Srpski Krstur, literally, “Serbian Krstur”, which is also referred to as Крстур / Krstur colloquially.

Cognate with Carpathian Rusyn Руськый Керестур (Rusʹkŷj Kerestur), Serbo-Croatian Руски Крстур / Ruski Krstur and Slovak Ruský Kеrеstur. The village is known as Bácskeresztúr in Hungarian, relating to the wider region of Bácska or Бачка / Bačka.
