Lábod is a village in Somogy county, Hungary.

Etymology

Its name derives from the Hungarian word láb (English: leg) which was also the name of the first owner of the village. There is a local joke about it: What flows between your legs? - Brook Rinya. Because the Brook Rinya divides the settlement in two parts: Kis-Lábod and Nagy-Lábod.^[2]

History

According to László Szita the settlement was completely Hungarian in the 18th century.^[3]
