Ág ([ˈɒɡ], German: Neuda) is a village (Hungarian: község) in northern Baranya County, Hegyhát District, in southern Hungary. Its population at the 2011 Census was 177.[2] Until the end of World War II, the inhabitants' majority was Protestant Danube Swabians. Most of the former German settlers were expelled to Allied-occupied Germany and Allied-occupied Austria in 1945–1948, following the Potsdam Agreement.[3] Only a few Germans of Hungary live there, the majority today are the descendants of Hungarians from the Czechoslovak–Hungarian population exchange. They got the houses of the former Danube Swabian inhabitants.
Etymology
[edit]The village's name comes from the word ág, meaning 'stream'. It was recorded as Naghagh in 1487.[4]
