Sremska

Sremska is the feminine form of the adjectival name associated with Srem, the Syrmia region in the southwestern part of Vojvodina, Serbia. In Serbian toponymy, Sremska denotes places or districts linked to Srem or located there, distinguishing them from masculine or neuter forms such as Sremski or Sremsko.

Geographically, Srem lies between the Danube and Sava rivers, with Fruška Gora mountain to its north. It is part of the Pannonian Plain and is known for fertile soils suitable for agriculture, including grain, fruit, and vineyards. The region’s landscape and climate have supported settled life since antiquity and shaped local traditions and economy.

Notable places that carry the feminine toponym Sremska include Sremska Mitrovica, a city with a deep historical lineage linked to the ancient Roman capital Sirmium, and Sremska Kamenica, a locality on the Danube that is part of the wider Novi Sad metropolitan area. These names reflect the historical and administrative association of their settlements with the Srem region.

Historically, Srem has seen many rulers and cultural influences, from ancient empires through the medieval Hungarian kingdom and later Habsburg administration, up to modern Serbia. Today, the region remains an agricultural heartland within Vojvodina, while towns with Sremska in their names preserve a connection to Syrmia’s historical identity.
