Name[edit]
"Sečanj" is a Slavic name for the first month in the calendar year. The Serbian Ekavian variant of this name was eventually replaced with the new word "Januar" (corresponding to the common months as known in Western European cultures), while the Croatian Ijekavian variant "Siječanj" remains in use in Croatia.
In Serbian, it is known as Сечањ or Sečanj, in Hungarian as Szécsány or Torontálszécsány, in German as Setschan or Petersheim, in Croatian as Sečanj, and in Romanian as Seceani.
Serbian, Hungarian, and Romanian language are officially used by municipal authorities.
