Malacky
Malacky (-Slovak, German: Malatzka, Hungarian: Malacka) is a town and municipality in southwestern Slovakia around 35 km northwest from its capital Bratislava. Some believe that the name refers to the Hungarian word "Malacka" which means "piglet" in Hungarian and because the town seal features a pig, although some Slovaks deny the Hungarian origin of the name and argue that it refers to a local stream.
