Etymology
The name of the village was derived from the male personal name Žeběta, whose older form Žabata was derived from the name Žába, identical to the Czech word for 'frog'. The meaning of the local name was "Žeběta's property".[2]
History
The oldest mention of the village of Žebětín dates from 1235 (Sebetin). From the Middle Ages until 1848, Žebětín was divided into 3 parts under different authorities, which then merged into one municipality. Žebětín was annexed to Brno on November 26, 1971. Then, until 1976, Žebětín with its entire territory formed an independent district with its own local national committee, which was first called Brno XVI-Žebětín,[3] but as of May 1, 1972 was renamed Brno-Žebětín.[4] From July 15, 1976 to November 23, 1990, Žebětín was part of the Brno II municipal district.[5]
