Dabar (
Serbian Cyrillic: Дабар) was a medieval
župa, part of the principality of
Zachlumia, and later Hum
zemlja. It was first mentioned in the 10th century, in the
De Administrando Imperio, as one of five inhabited cities of Zachlumia.
[1] It was called Dobriskik. Dabar was situated around the Dabar field (Dabarsko
polje), and bordered Dubrava to the west,
Nevesinje to the north,
Fatnica to the east and
Popovo to the south-west. The word dabar in Serbo-Croatian means "beaver", thus, the etymology has been connected to
beavers.
There was another region[
clarification needed] with the same name in the
Lim River Valley that had been a part of the
Serbian Kingdom until 1373 when Bosnian Ban
Tvrtko I adjoined it to his realm.
