Hronec (hu|Kisgaram, in Hungarian pronounced as /ˈkiʒɡɒrɒm/, until 1886: Hungarian: Rónicz) is a village and municipality in Brezno District, in the Banská Bystrica Region of central Slovakia.
In historical records, the village was first mentioned as Hronecz in 1357, when it was the dominion of Lypche Solienses. In 1390, it was mentioned as Horonecz. As Louis I of Hungary already in 1357 gave to the Royal forester's son - called Pál - the right of scultetus, in 1405 it was referred as Plantatio Pauli. In 1424 Kysgaran, in 1547 Ranitz and in the 19th century usually Rhonic was used. After, the official name was until 1886 Rónicz, when it was changed to Kisgaram. Eventually, as part of Czechoslovakia, Hronec became the official name.
