Once the second largest city of Serbia (1919), contemporary Subotica is the second largest city of the Vojvodina region following Novi Sad, with a population of 99,471 (according to the 2002 census). Likewise, today it is Serbia's fifth largest city, with the municipality of Subotica numbering 147,758 people. It is the administrative centre of the North Bačka District.
The name Subotica derives from the Serbian word for "Saturday" or "Sabbath" and first appeared in 1653. The Serbian word for "Saturday" is subota (cyrillic: субота), thus the name Subotica means "a little Saturday". Another theory claims that city was named after Subota Vrlić, who was a palatine and treasurer of Emperor Jovan Nenad in the 16th century.
