Svetozar Miletić (Serbian: Светозар Милетић, Hungarian: Nemesmilitics, Croatian: Lemeš / Svetozar Miletić, German: Milititsch) is a village located in Sombor municipality in the West Bačka District of Vojvodina, Serbia. It is situated in Bačka geographical region. The village is ethnically mixed between Hungarians and Serbs and its population numbering 2,746 inhabitants.
The village was named after Svetozar Miletić, a political leader of Serbs in Vojvodina from second half of 19th century.
In Serbian, the village is known as Svetozar Miletić (Светозар Милетић), in Croatian as Lemeš (since 2009) or Svetozar Miletić (before 2009), in Bunjevac as Svetozar Miletić or Lemeš, in German as Milititsch, and in Hungarian as Nemesmillitics. Before 1925, in Serbian, Croatian and Bunjevac the name Lemeš (Лемеш) was used for the village.
The origin of the village name in Hungarian comes from the Hungarian word Hungarian: nemes (a noble), while for the word Hungarian: militics it is believed that it comes from Latin Latin: militis (a soldier). Local Bunjevci people have shortened and transformed the name Nemesmilitics into Lemeš. During the administration of the Kingdom of Serbs, Croats and Slovenes the village name was changed into Svetozar Miletić (in 1925).
