The first says that the ancestors named this hill after the leader of the Slavs - Zobor, who was hanged at this place.
The second hypothesis says that the hill is remotely reminiscent of a bison, and another leans towards a name derived from the oldest Benedictine monastery, which was built here (Russian word sobor = monastery, choir of monks).
Its origin dates back to settlements from Great Moravian times.
It is mentioned as early as 1113 in the vicinity of the Zobor monastery.
